Instructions

  • In a medium sauce-pan over medium-high heat, whisk together water, orange juice, sugar, light-brown sugar and orange zest.
  • Bring to a boil then carefully add in cranberries.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer. Allow mixture to simmer about 15 - 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cranberries will pop.
