Classic Cranberry Sauce

Just a super-simple cranberry sauce with a little bit of added flavor. You'll never buy canned sauce again after making your own!

Yield: 2 1/4 cups

Prep Time: 15 min

Cook Time: 15 min

Ingredients:

12 ounce bag of fresh cranberries
1 cup granulated white sugar
1 cup water
2 1/4 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
dash of allspice

Directions:

1. Bring all ingredients to boil in a medium saucepan. Stir every couple of minutes. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until most of the cranberries burst, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

2. Transfer sauce to medium container. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips:

*This recipe may be prepared up to one week ahead. Keep refrigerated.

    Can this be frozen in plastic containers to be pulled out and used after the holidays are over? That would be great!!!
