Last-Minute Cranberry Orange Sauce

INGREDIENTS
• ¾ cup of filtered water (1 cup if you prefer a softer sauce)
• Zest of 1 orange
• ½ cup fresh orange juice
• ¾ – 1 cup of light brown sugar (depending how sweet you like it)
• A pinch of salt
• 4 cups of fresh cranberries or * frozen cranberries (see tips below)

OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENDED: ¼ – ½ teaspoons of Ground Chai Spice
OPTIONAL: 1 – 2 tablespoons of Grand Mariner, sweet orange liqueur, or maple syrup

HOW TO
1. In a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat, bring the water, orange juice, orange zest, salt, and sugar to a boil. Add the cranberries and return to a boil.
2. Reduce the heat to medium and gently simmer for 10 – 12 minutes or until most of cranberries have popped open
3. Stir in the Chai Spice (and orange liqueur or maple syrup if using) and simmer for an additional 1 – 2 minutes or until desired consistency
4. Transfer cranberry sauce to a serving bowl. Cover and chill until ready to serve. 

TIPS
• If using frozen cranberries use ½ – ¾ cup of water. You can always add a splash more water at the end if needed.
• In a time crunch? Put the sauce in the freezer (for up to 30 minutes) Stir well before serving.
• To make sauce ahead – Pour the cranberry sauce in a jar or container with a lid and store in the fridge for a week or freeze for up to 3 months
• Cranberry Orange Sauce is a versatile cooking and baking ingredient. Into pre-baked phyllo or puffed pastry cups add a slice of Brie cheese and top with a dollop of sauce to create a quick but oh-so-delicious appetizer!
