3-Ingredient Cranberry Sauce
An easy 3-ingredient cranberry sauce recipe made with fresh cranberries, sugar and an orange. It's simple to make from scratch and tastes better than the canned version.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups fresh cranberries (12 ounce bag)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 orange
- Pinch Kosher salt
- ½ cup water
Instructions
- Gather ingredients. Zest the orange and then cut in half. Juice the orange into a small bowl and remove any seeds.
- On the stovetop, place 1 1/2 cups cranberries, 1 cup sugar, fresh orange juice, orange zest, salt and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a light boil over medium heat.
- Continue to cook until the cranberries have burst and it has thickened (about 10 minutes). Mash the cranberries if you prefer a smoother sauce.
- Remove from heat and put the sauce in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
This is a sweet cranberry sauce. If you'd like more of a bitter taste, cut the sugar in half. If you'd like to use a natural sweetener, you can use pure honey or 100% pure maple syrup.
