Ingredients
- 12 oz. fresh Cranberries
- 2 Sweet Mandarin Oranges peeled and diced
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon orange extract
Instructions
- Bring sugar and water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
- Add cranberries, oranges and orange extract and boil gently for about 10-15 minutes; until most of the liquid has reduced and cranberries have popped.
- Remove from heat and cool completely.
- Store in an airtight sealed container in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
- Instead of the orange extract, you could also add a splash of orange juice and some orange zest instead. Just keep in mind that oj has a lot of sugar, so you may want to reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe.
- The white pith of the orange is quite bitter, so try to remove as much of that as you can.
- For a warm holiday flavor, add a cinnamon stick to the sauce as it’s boiling.
