Fresh Cranberry Sauce

This is more of a chunky sauce, than the jell that comes out of the can....I have made this in the past, and will be making it again this year.

1/2 Pound Cranberries
1 Tbl Spn Orange Zest
1 Tsp Spn Lemon Zest
1/4 Cup Orange Juice
1/2 Cup Sugar (if you don't like it that sweet, do a little less)
1 Tsp Spn Vanilla
2 Cups Water
3 Tbl Spn Cornstarch



Add all ingredients except only use 1 1/2 cups water (reserve the rest along with the cornstarch to thicken)
boil for 8 minutes. You will hear the cranberries pop, and everything will marry together. It is a beautiful smell at this point!!



Mix the rest of the water with the cornstarch and add to the mixture, turn the heat down and simmer until it thickens. This can be made up to 4 days before and refrigerated. It is best served chilled.
