Ingredients
- 16 oz fresh cranberries - (frozen also works)
- ¾ cup pure maple syrup
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 teaspoon orange zest - (zest from approximately one medium orange)

Instructions
- Add cranberries, maple syrup, and water to a medium pot over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat and continue to simmer 10-15 min, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. As it simmers the cranberries will start to burst. Every few minutes, use the back of a wooden spoon to mash some of the cranberries against the side of the pot.
