Orange Cranberry Sauce

Gotta have cranberry sauce with turkey! And this one is easy to make. The orange zest gives it a little zing. Want more orange flavour? Just change up the water for orange juice.

1/2 cup water or orange juice
1 cup sugar
1/2 lb fresh or frozen cranberries
Zest of 1 orange

Combine the water and sugar in a saucepan. Add the cranberries and orange zest and bring to a boil.

Once it comes to a boil reduce heat and simmer over medium heat, stirring until cranberries start to crack open. You'll notice the sauce start to thicken. 

Remove from heat, cool and refrigerate.
Makes about 1  1/2 cups
Simply isn't Thanksgiving or Christmas without it.
