Step 1

Zest the orange first and set the zest aside for later use.

Step 2

Combine the brown sugar, water, orange juice, cinnamon and salt in a saucepan and bring mixture to a simmer, until brown sugar dissolves. Add in all but ½ cup of cranberries (reserve these for later). Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 to 11 minutes.

Step 3

Once the cranberries have popped and the mixture is starting to thicken, add in the remaining cranberries and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the orange zest.

Step 4

The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Serve warm, room temperature or chilled. Let cool completely before covering and storing in the fridge.
