Ingredients
  • 12 ounces fresh cranberries
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • ¾ cup organic brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • Pinch salt
Instructions
  1. Place the cranberries, water, orange juice, brown sugar, and cloves into a medium saucepan and stir to combine.

  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the liquid to a boil, stirring occasionally.

  3. Lower the heat so that the liquid is just at a simmer. Allow the mixture to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the berries have burst.

  4. Remove the pot from heat and stir in the orange zest and salt.

  5. Let the mixture cool until it is just warm, 20 to 30 minutes, then transfer it to an airtight container and chill for at least 2 hours.

  6. Serve.
