Ingredients
1 pound cranberries, thawed if frozen
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 wide strips lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 wide strips orange zest, plus 2 tablespoons orange juice
Directions
- Combine the cranberries, sugar, 1 1/2 cups water and the lemon and orange zest and juice in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Transfer the cranberry sauce to a bowl and refrigerate until cold and thickened but still saucy, at least 4 hours and up to 1 week.
