This Cranberry Orange Sauce is made using three ingredients and is not overly sweet. It takes only 3 minutes of active preparation time. Ditch the can and make this easy homemade sauce bursting with flavor ready in 15 minutes.
In a medium pot, combine water, sugar and orange juice. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Stir in the cranberries and the orange zest. Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for 9 to 10 minutes, until you hear the cranberries pop and the sauce has thickened slightly.
