Ingredients

Scale

2 cups fresh cranberries
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
Zest of 1 orange
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

Rinse cranberries under cold water and discard any damaged berries. Measure out all ingredients.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cranberries and granulated sugar. Stir occasionally until bubbling, about 10 minutes, until most cranberries burst.
Remove from heat and stir in orange zest, lemon juice, and chopped mint leaves. Let the heat release their essential oils.
Cool the mixture at room temperature for 15 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for at least one hour to meld flavors.
Gently stir before serving as a side or topping.
