Ingredients
  

  • 1 12 oz bag fresh cranberries
  • 1 C white sugar
  • 1 C water
  • 2 naval oranges
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Zest the two oranges. Set the zest aside.
  • In a medium sauce pan combine the sugar, water and juice from the two oranges.
  • Place the pan on the stovetop and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and add the bag of cranberries. Cook for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. The cranberries will pop and the liquid will thicken.
  • Pull the pan off the heat and stir in the cinnamon and orange zest. Allow this to cool to room temperature and then chill in the fridge for a few hours until ready to serve. This can be made ahead and kept in the fridge for three- four days. Or you can freeze it and thaw in the fridge overnight.
