This delightful orange cranberry sauce, inspired by Ina Garten's recipe, is the perfect blend of tart cranberries, fresh citrus, and just the right amount of sweetness. With a vibrant color and refreshing taste, this homemade sauce will quickly become a favorite for Thanksgiving or any festive occasion.
Ingredients
- 12 oz fresh cranberries, rinsed
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- Zest of 1 large orange
- 3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (from 2–3 oranges)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cranberries: Rinse under cold water. Discard bruised or damaged berries for a bright, beautiful sauce.
- Cook the Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves.
- Add Citrus and Cranberries: Stir in orange zest and juice. Add cranberries and bring to a gentle boil. Lower heat and simmer 10–15 minutes until most berries burst and sauce thickens. Stir occasionally.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from heat and cool to room temperature (it will thicken more as it cools). Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready.
This orange cranberry sauce pairs beautifully with roasted turkey, stuffing, or even a cheese board. Its bright, tangy flavor complements savory dishes and adds a touch of elegance to any holiday meal. Plus, this homemade twist is simple, quick, and sure to impress!
