Homemade cranberry sauce with orange zest and a hint of cinnamon balances sweet and tart, and it goes with any roasted meat.
method
In a saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, water, orange zest, orange juice, and cinnamon.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
Remove from the heat, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
