Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz cranberries
  • ¾ cup maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup water
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric

Instructions
 

  • Wash the cranberries and discard any soft ones.
  • In a medium saucepan add the water, maple syrup, orange juice & zest, salt, cinnamon, ginger and turmeric. Bring to a boil then reduce to a steady simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the cranberries and simmer for an additional 12-15 minutes. The cranberries will burst and thicken the sauce.
  • Remove the sauce from heat and crush softened cranberries with a fork or spoon. Transfer to a storage container with a tight lid.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for 30+ minutes before serving.

Notes

  • The cranberries will burst and perfectly thicken the sauce while cooking.
  • Make sure to not overcook the sauce (12-15 min max) otherwise it will not set correctly.
  • Chill before serving.
