Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz Fresh Cranberries
  • 2 Large Oranges washed
  • 1 cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1 Cinnamon Stick optional

Instructions
 

  • In a medium-size pot, combine the cranberries, zest from both oranges, juice from both oranges, and maple syrup. Make sure you zest the oranges before you juice them! {If you’re using a cinnamon stick, add it to the pot.}
  • Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat; stirring occasionally. Once boiling, turn the heat down to low and allow the sauce to simmer for 10-20 minutes, depending on desired consistency for your cranberry sauce. A shorter simmer time will produce a thinner sauce and 20+ minutes will make it thicker like a jam.
  • Allow the cranberry sauce to cool and then store in air-tight containers in the fridge. I like to serve mine warm, but it can also be served cold.
