Equipment

1 pot or a wok or cast iron pan

Ingredients

12 oz cranberries Fresh or Frozen (1 bag)
1 cup orange juice About 2 oranges
⅔ cup maple syrup
1 cinnamon stick or a dash of cinnamon powder

Instructions

Wash the oranges really well. Dry the oranges, zest, and juice them.
Mix the orange juice with maple syrup. Add the cinnamon stick to the pot. Simmer using medium heat 1-2 minutes.
Add the cranberries to the pot and stir occasionally to make sure the sauce won't stick to the pan and burn. The cranberries will pop, breakdown, and thicken into a sauce or jam (about 8 - 10 minutes)
Add the orange zest and transfer to an airtight container. Keep refrigerated.
