Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh cranberries (or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (or more to taste)
  • 1 tbsp orange juice (optional but tasty; peach schnapps and orange blossom water are also delicious)

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a medium sized pot.
  • Cover and cook over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring often, until berries release their juices and start to bubble and froth.
  • Uncover, reduce heat to low and cook, stirring often, until thickened - about five more minutes. Taste and add more sugar if necessary.
  • Make this ahead of time if you like. This keeps well in the fridge for quite a long time. Enjoy! :)
