Ingredients
  

  • 1 12 oz bag of fresh cranberries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon plus a couple of extra dashes

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the cranberries and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, add the granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, orange juice and water. Cook on medium-high heat until just boiling, stirring occasionally. Add the cinnamon and stir.
  • Add in the cranberries and stir. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool. *The longer you cook the cranberries, the thicker the sauce will be. For a thinner sauce, remove from heat at 10 minutes. Once cooled, the sauce will be thicker than in the pan.
