Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Wooden spoon or silicone spatula

Ingredients

  • 340 g 12 oz Cranberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/3 cup Water

  • 1 cup Sugar

Instructions

  • Combine Everything: Add the cranberries, maple syrup, water, orange juice, and white sugar to a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Bring to a Simmer: Stir occasionally and bring the mixture to a gentle boil as the sugars dissolve.
  • Cook Until Thickened: Reduce to a simmer and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens naturally.
