Instructions
Zest your oranges and then juice them. Rinse the fresh cranberries in a strainer.
Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the fresh cranberries, white sugar, freshly squeezed orange juice, water, and salt. Cook, stirring often until it comes to a boil, about 3-5 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the orange zest and vanilla extract. Stir to combine and pour into a serving dish.
This cranberry sauce is excellent served warm, at room temperature, or cold. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy.
