Ingredients
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup orange juice fresh squeezed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 cinnamon Stick
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
Instructions
- Bring water and orange juice to a boil in a saucepan; add the sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon stick. Cook until sugar is dissolved.
- Stir in the cranberries and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until the cranberries have cooked for about 10 minutes. Crush the cranberries as they cook for a smoother sauce.
- Discard the cinnamon stick and allow it to cool slightly before adding it to a clean jar, cover and refrigerate until ready to use. It will gelatinate and thicken as it cools.
