Ingredients:

  • 12 oz (340g) fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) orange juice
  • 1 tsp (2g) orange zest
  • 1/8 tsp (0.75g) salt

Instructions:

  1. Combine the orange juice, granulated sugar, and salt in a stainless steel saucepan.
  2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar crystals completely dissolve and the liquid begins to simmer.
  3. Stir in the fresh cranberries and orange zest.
  4. Increase the heat slightly to bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10–12 minutes until the berries pop and the natural pectin is released.
  6. Remove the pan from the heat once the sauce has reached a syrupy consistency and the berries have softened.
  7. Transfer the sauce to a glass bowl and let it cool completely to thicken into a glossy jam.
