Calories: 57kcal
Ingredients
- 10 oz fresh whole cranberries
- 2 jalapeno peppers seeds removed and sliced
- ½ cup water
- 2 teaspoon orange zest
- ½ cup orange juice
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Combine the whole cranberries, jalapeños, water, orange zest, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring often, until the cranberries have burst and the mixture has thickened (about 10-15 minutes depending on how thick you want your sauce to be.)
- Mash the cranberries into the sauce with a fork or the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool to room temperature. Transfer to an airtight container and chill. (Sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.)
- The sauce will keep for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Careful when removing the seeds from the jalapeno peppers! The spice can transfer to your hands and can be painful if you touch your eyes or face. Use gloves and remove the seeds with a small spoon. Wash hands extremely well after handling.
- The cranberries will burst slightly when cooking. You may wish to partially cover your saucepan to prevent splatters.
