Warm and Cozy: Cranberry Orange Sauce

I love different cranberry sauces for Thanksgiving.  Anything that is a little different than the traditional canned stuff is worth the time to make!  This recipe is super easy and marries the tastes of orange, cranberry and cinnamon.  What could be better?  I made mine with fresh cranberries and oranges.  Enjoy! 

Cranberry-Orange Sauce


Ingredients

  • 2 (8-ounce) packages cranberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1 orange, zest cut into strips and juiced
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick

Directions

Put all the ingredients into a saucepan over medium heat and simmer until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens, about 15 to 20 minutes. Serve at room temperature or cool and refrigerate. Remove the cinnamon stick before serving
