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

  • Place the cranberries, water, orange juice, brown sugar, and cloves into a medium saucepan and stir to combine.
  • Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the liquid to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  • 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.
  • Remove the pot from heat and stir in the orange zest and salt.
  • 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.
  • Serve.
