 Serves: 8 Servings     |     Prep: 5 min     |     Cook: 10 min     |    Chill: 1 hr     |     Ready: 1 hr 15 min

INGREDIENTS

1 c. light brown sugar, lightly packed
1 c. water
12 oz. Fresh Cranberries, rinsed and
     drained 

1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves

finely grated orange peel from one
     small orange and juice
2 tsp. pure maple syrup


NOTES

DIRECTIONS

Combine all ingredients in a medium to large kettle, and bring to a rolling boil, stirring intermittently. Make sure kettle has room for sauce to at least triple in volume. The juices from the berries release and as the mixture boils rapidly, it will foam and a too-small pot will easily overflow.

Reduce heat to low and allow sauce to simmer for about 10 – 15 minutes. Sauce will thicken more as it cools.

Chill before serving.
