Combine Ingredients
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, orange juice, and water. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
-
Cook the Cranberries
-
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cranberries will burst and the sauce will thicken.
-
Add Orange Zest
-
Stir in the orange zest toward the end of cooking. Continue simmering for a minute or two, allowing the zest to infuse.
-
Cool and Thicken
-
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
-
Serve and Garnish
-
Transfer the cranberry sauce to a serving dish and garnish with a fresh rosemary sprig or a slice of orange, if desired. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
