12 ounces fresh cranberries
3 tablespoons honey
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, honey, water and orange zest over medium-high heat.
Bring the contents of the saucepan to a boil, and immediately reduce the heat to medium-low.
Allow sauce to simmer and thicken, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries start to pop and the sauce reaches the desired consistency.
Remove the sauce from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, and then stir in a pinch of salt.
Allow the sauce to cool for at least 5 minutes, and serve it individually or garnish with more orange zest and serve in a bowl.
For more orange flavor, add more orange zest or 1 tablespoon orange juice while cooking.
Add more honey to make the sauce sweeter.
