Ingredients

  • (1) 12-ounce bag fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 2 large oranges, zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a medium saucepan, stirring to combine.
  • Bring the mixture to a low boil. Simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to thicken.
  • Remove from the heat and allow to cool. It will continue to thicken while it cools. Taste for seasoning, and add salt as needed.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

This is the perfect make-ahead side because it stores well for several days. Feel free to prep this ahead of time for Thanksgiving! Just store the sauce in an airtight container in the fridge.
