The Best Cranberry Sauce - 10 Minute Recipe - Perfect for Thanksgiving

Some people are intimidated about cranberry sauce. This is one of the easiest, most delicious cranberry sauce recipes that you will ever come across and your Thanksgiving guests will love it! It literally takes 10 minutes max and you can make it 3 three days ahead. For those of you making this for the holidays, it's a real time saver.

¾ cup sugar
½ cup orange juice
½ cup water
12 oz fresh cranberries rinsed and picked through
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1 piece of orange peel

Directions:

Combine sugar, orange juice and water in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir to combine.

Add cranberries, cinnamon and orange peel.

Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently.
Continue cooking, for about 10 minutes or until all or most of the cranberries have popped. I like to leave a handful of berries whole.

Let cool for at least 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Can be made up to 3 days in advance.
