Oven-Baked Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 12 Ounce Bag of Fresh Cranberries
• 2 Cups of Sugar
• Zest of 1 Orange (I use a Microplane Zester*)
• 1/3 Cup Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
2. Rinse cranberries. Dry them well.
3. Place cranberries in a 13 x 19 baking dish.
4. Coat evenly with sugar. It will look like there’s more sugar than cranberries.
5. Bake for 30 minutes. Stir it. The sugar will still look very grainy at this stage.
6. Bake another 30 minutes. During this time the cranberries will continue to pop and breakdown.
7. Add orange zest and juice. Stir until well blended. The cranberry sauce may seem really runny.
8. Once it’s cool and thicker, pour into a container and cover with a lid. I like to use Corningware French White.*
9. Place it in the refrigerator for several hours…or days before serving. It’s best served chilled.
