Cranberry Sauce Recipe
My easy homemade cranberry sauce uses 5 ingredients and only takes 20 minutes to make! Fresh orange juice, cinnamon, and vanilla are the secret to making it so delicious!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 12 ounce bag fresh cranberries picked through and rinsed
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice (1-2 oranges)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the brown sugar, water, orange zest and orange juice to a boil.
- Add in the cranberries and cinnamon. Stir and lower the heat so that the cranberries continue to gently boil. Cook the cranberries for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed. Add additional brown sugar in 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the vanilla. Cool the cranberry sauce before storing it in an airtight container and refrigerating it until ready to serve.
