Notes

  • Use just the orange peel and try to avoid getting the white pith that's just under the peel. The pith can be bitter. Use a sharp knife or a vegetable peeler to remove the peel.
  • Keep an eye on your cranberries while cooking and stir often to avoid scorching
  • If berries become too thick, you can a touch more water
  • The berries will begin to pop while they are cooking. This is normal!
