Grandma’s Secret Maple-Orange Cranberry Sauce

🎄 You Unlocked Grandma’s Secret Recipe!

You cleaned your plate… so you unlocked Grandma’s secret. ❤️

Sweet, tart, citrusy, and just a little warm with cinnamon, this homemade cranberry sauce is made for the holiday table. The secret? Real maple syrup and fresh orange.

THE SECRET INGREDIENTS

 

• 1 bag (12 oz) fresh or frozen cranberries
• ½ cup pure maple syrup
• ½ cup fresh orange juice
• 1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 pinch cinnamon

 

 

🥣 GRANDMA’S SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine & Simmer
Add the maple syrup, orange juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon to a medium saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

2. Add the Berries
Add the cranberries and bring the mixture back to a boil.

3. Let Them Pop!
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10–12 minutes. Stir occasionally as the cranberries burst and the sauce begins to thicken.

4. Grandma’s Final Touch
Remove from the heat and stir in the fresh orange zest. Let it cool completely before serving. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
