Ingredients

  • 12 oz cranberries fresh/frozen
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 1-2 jalapeños seeded and finely chopped (adjust for desired heat)
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • Pinch salt

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, water, and orange juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Once the cranberries start to pop (about 5 minutes), add the chopped jalapeños, orange zest, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
  • Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat and let the sauce cool. It will thicken more as it cools. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
