Ingredients:
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1/2 cup water
- Pinch of Himalayan Pink Salt
Instructions:
-
Cook the Cranberries: In a saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, water, and orange juice. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Continue simmering until the cranberries begin to burst and the sauce thickens, about 10-12 minutes.
-
Add the Zest and Salt: Stir in the freshly grated zest of 1 orange, followed by a pinch of Himalayan Pink Salt. The salt enhances the tartness of the cranberries and the citrusy notes from the orange, bringing out a rich complexity in the flavor.
-
Cool Before Serving: Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the cranberry sauce to cool. As it cools, it will thicken further, reaching the perfect consistency.
Why Himalayan Pink Salt?
The mineral complexity of Himalayan Pink Salt contrasts beautifully with the tart cranberries and the bright citrusy zing of the orange zest. This unique salt adds a subtle depth and a light crunch to the cranberry sauce, making it not only a flavorful addition to your holiday meal but also a visually stunning one with its signature pink crystals.
