Homemade Cranberry Sauce
  1. Rinse the cranberries and remove any damaged ones.

  2. In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, water, orange juice, sugar, cinnamon stick, orange zest, and a pinch of salt.

  3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low.

  4. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.

  5. Remove from heat and let cool completely—it will continue to thicken as it cools.

  6. Discard the cinnamon stick before serving.
