Ingredients:

  • 12 oz fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 tbsp orange zest
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions:

  1. Combine the cranberries, honey, bourbon, and orange juice in a medium saucepan.
  2. Stir in the orange zest, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Turn the heat to medium-high, stirring occasionally to ensure the honey dissolves completely.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer.
  5. Simmer for 8 to 12 minutes until the cranberries burst and the sauce transitions to a deep mahogany hue.
  6. Remove the pan from the heat and let the sauce sit for 10 minutes to allow the pectin to set and thicken.
