My recipe for Cranberry Sauce with Orange Juice has only four ingredients, is easy to make, not too sweet, not too tart, and packed with vitamins and antioxidants. The orange juice and zest pair well with cranberries, whose tartness is tamed by the sugar. I love making my Cranberry Sauce with Orange Juice the sparkling jewel on my holiday table.

Ingredients:
- Fresh-squeezed orange juice
- Sugar
- Fresh cranberries
- Zest of one orange
(See recipe card for amounts)
Instructions:

- Add the cranberries and orange zest and return to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and boil gently for about 10 minutes.
- When most of the berries have burst, remove from heat.
- Cool at room temperature then chill in refrigerator at least 2 hours.
