Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups cranberries washed and drained
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup orange juice
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Add all of the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a simmer on medium heat.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and continue stirring as cranberries begin to burst.
  • Continue to stir until cranberries have all burst and the sauce begins to thicken. [You can help the process along by squishing softened cranberries against the side of the saucepan as you stir.] Remove the cinnamon stick.
  • Remove from heat and let the sauce cool. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
