Orange zested cranberry sauce

 
Thanksgiving is creeping up on us. I have been trying to prepare anything I can ahead of time. Yesterday I made my cranberry sauce. It is a very simple thing to make and beats the canned stuff any day.

Here is what you need.

1 bag of fresh cranberries

1 cup of Sugar

1 cup of Water

1/2 to 1 Teaspoon of orange zest (you can add as much or as little as you like, it is completely up to your tastes)

1 to 2 Tablespoons of fresh squeezed orange juice.

In a medium sized sauce pan add water and sugar. Bring to a boil and then add cranberries and orange zest and juice. Simmer for about 15 minutes over medium to low heat.

 
Pour into a bowl and allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until needed or if you make it ahead like I did go ahead and put it into a storage container and put it in the freezer. Remove it from the freezer and put it in the fridge about 24 hours before you need to use it.
