Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 12 ounces cranberries fresh or frozen
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste

Instructions
 

  • Add the orange juice, sugar, and water to a small saucepan and bring to a gentle boil.
  • Add the cranberries and cinnamon and stir to combine.
  • Place the saucepan back over medium heat and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened. If needed, mash some of the berries with the back of a spoon towards the end of the cook time to help them burst.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and orange zest.
  • Serve warm or cold. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
