• Serves 6 to 8

Ingredients

• 4 cups (16 oz) fresh or frozen cranberries
• 1½ cups apple jelly or orange marmalade (about 1½ twelve oz jars)
• ⅓ to ½ cup sugar
• ¼ tsp grated orange zest (optional)

Directions

1. In a medium pan, over medium high heat, combine the cranberries, jelly or marmalade, ¼ cup water, sugar (⅓ cup if using jelly, ½ cup if using marmalade) and zest, if using.
2. Bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens, 7 to 10 minutes.
4. The marmalade version will stay a bit runny.
5. Remove from heat; let cool.
6. Transfer to a dish, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
