Triple Orange Cranberry Sauce

So easy to make, and so yummy! This cranberry sauce may be served as part of a holiday meal, or anytime. It makes a good “jam” on toast as well.

Makes about 2 cups of sauce.

Ingredients:

• 12 oz fresh cranberries
• 1 c sugar
• 1/2 tsp orange zest
• 1/2 c orange juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 tsp ground cardamon
• dash red pepper flakes
• dash sea salt
• 1/4 tsp orange extract

Directions:

1. Wash cranberries well, drain, and remove any stems.
2. Combine all ingredients except orange extract in a sauce pan and stir to combine.
3. Cook over high heat until it boils. (You may hear cranberries pop as they break down.) Reduce heat to low and cook 8-10 minutes more, stirring frequently, until berries are all popped and the liquid has thickened.
4. Remove from heat and stir in orange extract. Cool completely in the refrigerator before serving.
