makes 8-10 servings
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup unsweetened 100 percent cranberry juice (not cocktail)
1 cup honey
1 pound fresh cranberries (about 4 cups), rinsed
orange zest for garnish (optional)
1. Add the orange juice, cranberry juice, honey, and cranberries to a 4-quart sauce pot and heat over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have burst and the mixture has thickened.
2. Pour the cranberry sauce into a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let set in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight.
3. Add freshly grated orange zest on top of the sauce before serving.
