Cranberry Orange Sauce

Cranberry Orange Sauce
120 grams granulated (white) sugar
juice of one large orange 
+ enough water to make 2/3 cup liquid
175 grams fresh or frozen cranberries
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
grated zest of one large orange

Combine the sugar, orange juice, and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the cranberries and cinnamon and simmer for about 15 minutes, until berries have burst. Add the zest and simmer an additional five minutes until thickened. Cool and refrigerate. 

This is another holiday recipe, though cranberry sauce goes well with many meats all year-round. This version gets a little extra flavor from orange and cinnamon. This makes a small batch - about a cup - but can easily be doubled or tripled. Cranberry sauce is so easy to make and so much better than that found in a can.
