- 1 12-ounce bag fresh cranberries washed and drained.
- ½ cup honey or maple syrup
- ½ cup water
Optional for flavoring:
- 1-2 teaspoon orange blossom water highly recommended
- Zest of one orange
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a medium saucepan, add the cranberries, honey and water. Mix well to combine.
Bring to a boil then reduce heat stirring every now and then, simmer for 7-10 minutes until all cranberries have popped and the sauce thickened to your satisfaction.
Take the pot off heat and add in the flavors you like. I love adding both orange blossom water and cinnamon.
- If this is your first experience with orange blossom water or if you are using a brand that is new to you, you may want to start by adding ½ teaspoon, taste then add more until you reach your perfection.
- You are welcome to add one or more of the flavoring options.
