Recipe View Cool and Serve: Remove from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature. As it cools, the natural pectin in the cranberries will cause the sauce to gel, creating a beautiful texture. Transfer to a serving dish and serve chilled or at room temperature. (15 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of orange zest or a splash of orange juice during the simmering process.
Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. Start with 1 cup and add more to taste.
Cranberry sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
For a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to partially blend the cranberries after simmering.
