Ingredients

One 12-ounce (340g) bag fresh or frozen cranberries
1 cup sugar (7 ounces; 198g)
1/2 cup (118g) water
2 strips zest and 2 tablespoons (30ml) juice from 1 orange (optional)
1 cinnamon stick (optional)
Pinch kosher salt

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a 3-quart saucier or saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until berries start to pop. Press berries against side of pan with a wooden spoon and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until berries are completely broken down and achieve a jam-like consistency, about 10 minutes total. Remove from heat and allow to cool about 30 minutes. Stir in water in 1-tablespoon increments to adjust to desired consistency. Cranberry sauce can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for several months.
