Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Orange Juice Grate the rind of the Orange to add (optional)
  • 1/2 Cup Water
  • 3-4 Cups Fresh Cranberries
  • 1/2-3/4 Cup Maple Syrup
  • 1 Cinnamon Stick
  • 4-6 Whole Cloves (make sure you count)

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan heat the orange juice, rind (if you choose to add), water, and maple syrup until it begins simmering.
  • Add the fresh cranberries
  • Then add the cinnamon stick and cloves (don't forget to count how many cloves you put in). Allow it all to boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring it occasionally. Watch that it doesn't boil over.
  • Take off the heat and allow it to cool. If you are planning on jarring it, place in jar while still hot to seal.
  • The sauce will thicken upon cooling.
