This Cranberry Orange Sauce is bright, citrusy, and perfectly sweet-tart. Fresh orange juice helps cut back on the sugar while adding incredible flavor — making it a lighter, fresher twist on the classic holiday favoritee.

Ingredients

  • Place all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10–15 minutes, or until the cranberries begin to pop and the sauce thickens.
  • Turn off the heat and allow to cool. Remove the cinnamon stick.
  • Serve warm or chilled.
