Equipment

Small baking dish

Ingredients

4 cups fresh cranberries
1 small orange, juiced & zested set aside ½ the zest, for garnish
2 tablespoon bourbon or apple juice
2 tablespoon raw honey or coconut sugar for vegan
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 F degrees.
Combine all ingredients in a 9-inch baking dish. Stir until well combined.
Bake for 45 minutes or until cranberries are soft and liquid has reduced by two-thirds.
Serve as desired.

Notes

To serve as a side dish- top with orange zest and serve.
To serve as a sauce- add 3 to 4 tablespoon of water before baking. Reduce liquid by ⅓ and pulse with an immersion blender to barely break up the cranberries. It should still be chunky.
To serve as a dessert- Increase the honey to ½ cup before baking. Top with whipped cream and orange zest when serving.
