Making your own cranberry sauce REALLY could not be any easier. And let’s be honest — who really wants that weird gelatinous stuff that comes in a can? Homemade is a-bajillion times more delicious and so much better for you. And when it’s this easy to make, why not do it? Happy Thanksgiving!
Ingredients:
– 1 c. sugar
– 12 oz. fresh whole cranberries
– 1 Tbsp. grated orange zest (or I use tangerine!)
Directions:
1. Pour sugar into 1 c. of water and bring to a boil in a medium saucepan
2. Add cranberries and orange zest, reduce heat to a gentle boil
3. Cook for about 10 minutes
That’s it! Allow to cool before serving or cool and refrigerate for later use. SO much better than the gunk in a can!
