Instructions

  • Rinse cranberries in a colander under cool water, discarding any soft or damaged berries.
  • In a 1-quart saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar, orange juice, water, and a cinnamon stick. Cook over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 10–12 minutes, until cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
