Thanksgiving Side Dishes: Cranberry Sauce

Step 1

In a pot, cook cranberries, maple syrup and a pinch of salt over medium heat, until lightly simmering and cranberries begin to pop, about 8 minutes.  It is okay if cranberries are in different stages of breaking down.  Some will be popped, some will still be whole.

Step 2

Remove cranberries from heat.  Add diced apples, orange zest and chopped orange.  Mix to combine.  It will thicken as it cools.

Step 3

Refrigerate until serving.  This will keep 3 days in the fridge.
