Okay, here's the recipe for the cranberry orange sauce. There are lots of recipes for this. Many use cinnamon, and it's a very rich flavor. But since not everyone likes that cinnamon flavor, this is a very simple cranberry sauce that includes orange juice and zest for a nice depth. You can make this up to a week ahead of time or the day of. It's really simple and takes about 15 minutes to make.
Cranberry Orange Sauce
1 12 oz package fresh cranberries
Zest and juice of 1 orange
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
pinch salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
In a saucepan, mix together the water, juice, zest, sugar, salt and cinnamon (if desired). Bring to a boil, then reduce to low simmer and cook until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Add the cranberries and bring back to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens, about 7-8 minutes. Place sauce in a container and allow to cool to room temperature before covering and refrigerating. Take out and bring to room temperature before serving.
