Instructions

Rinse cranberries under cold water and discard any mushy ones.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cranberries, sugar, orange juice, orange zest, cinnamon stick, and enough water to cover the ingredients.
Stir until the mixture reaches a gentle boil; the cranberries will begin to pop.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes until thickened.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Discard the cinnamon stick.
