Cranberry Sauce with Orange Juice
Easy cranberry orange sauce recipe. A quick homemade cranberry sauce made with orange juice and maple syrup.
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 cup maple syrup (see note)
- ⅓ cup orange juice either store bought or fresh squeezed from a large orange
- orange zest optional (see note)
Instructions
- Begin by placing the orange juice and maple syrup in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer.
- Add the cranberries and orange zest (if using) and stir to coat.
- Cook the mixture over a medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring and pressing the cranberries to help these break down.
- After 15 minutes, you should have a thick cranberry sauce, similar to a jam consistency. Remove this from the heat and decant into a jar or heat proof bowl to cool.
Notes
The quality of your maple syrup will have an impact on this recipe and will impart flavour. I like to use a dark maple syrup.
If using an orange for your juice, zest this before squeezing the juice. Save the zest to add to your sauce. This is optional, but will enhance the orange citrus flavour.
