- 340 g 12 oz Cranberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/3 cup Water
- ⅓ cup Apple Juice
- 1/3 cup Orange Juice
- 1 cup Sugar
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.
Adjust & Finish: Remove from heat and let cool slightly. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
Serve or Store: Serve warm or chilled. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
