Ingredients
  

  • 0.5 cup water
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 bag (12 oz) fresh cranberries rinsed and picked over
  • 0.5 cup orange marmalade

Equipment

  • 1 2-quart saucepan

Method
 

  1. In a 2-quart saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Add the cranberries and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the berries have burst and the sauce has thickened.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the orange marmalade.
  4. Let the sauce cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, simmer until most of the berries have burst and the sauce has visibly thickened. Refrigerate covered for up to 10 days; freeze for up to 2 months.
