Don’t you love when you hear something takes 5 minutes? It’s music to our ears and this 5-minute cranberry sauce is a delight. Simple ingredients, just 3 in fact, bursting with flavor. We prefer a minimally sweetened cranberry relish, but it’s up to you how much coconut sugar you choose to add!

Step 1
in a small-medium sized pot, add cranberries and water, and bring to a rolling simmer. Cranberries will expand, crack, and soften over the course of a few minutes. After about 5 minutes, stirring often, add the orange zest and continue to cook for several minutes more if necessary, until a chunky, thick sauce has formed. Turn heat down if necessary. That’s all!
Step 2
Allow to cool before transferring cranberry sauce to a glass container. Store in the fridge so it can become hold and thicken further.
