Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup water
- 1 large orange juiced and zested, keep juice and zest separate
- 1 large lemon juiced and zested, keep juice and zest separate
- 16 ounces cranberries fresh or frozen
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat and add the brown sugar, water, orange juice, and lemon juice. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the cranberries and bring the mixture back to a simmer. Reduce the heat and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the berries burst and the sauce thickens.
- Stir in the vanilla, cinnamon, lemon zest, and orange zest. Remove from the heat.
- Let the sauce cool for about 20 minutes to thicken before serving, or refrigerate for at least 2 hours if you prefer it chilled.
