Cranberry sauce with orange – a recipe for quick and easy homemade cranberry sauce with orange. This cranberry sauce, or cranberry compote, is delicious and really easy to make. It is made with fresh cranberries, orange juice, orange zest, water, honey and sugar. Everything is brought to the boil until the cranberries burst and cook down into a lovely sauce that is sweet, tart, fresh and a little bitter.
Cranberries are beautiful red, crisp berries that are both tart and bitter. Many people associate them with Thanksgiving, where there is almost always something with cranberries on the table. I use fresh cranberries, which you can find in most larger supermarkets around Christmas, but frozen cranberries also work. The sauce keeps for 1-2 weeks in the fridge.
Serve the cranberry sauce with turkey, game or as a fruity side for Christmas dinner. Also try my cranberry gin cocktail with rosemary. Enjoy!

Put all the ingredients in a pan and bring to the boil with a lid on until the berries burst. Mash them well and let them simmer for about 10 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly. Add extra sugar to taste. Pour the sauce into a sterilised jar with a lid and let it cool. It gets firmer in the fridge.
Then serve. Enjoy!
