  • 1. Combine the cranberries, sugar, orange zest, and orange juice in the saucepan.

    Step 1

  • 2. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Once the mixture boils, reduce the heat to low.

    Step 2

  • 3. Simmer the sauce until the cranberries are soft and start to fall apart, about 30 minutes. Then remove from heat—the sauce will thicken some as it cools. See more Thanksgiving Basics.
