Ingredients
- 1 bag (12 ounce) cranberries (frozen or fresh cranberries, pick out and discard all the white and discolored ones)
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (tart use 1 cup/sweet use 1 1/2 cups, I use 1 1/3 cups)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice, or to taste
- 1 cup orange juice (use fresh squeezed orange juice, or can use 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup orange juice, using all juice is better)
How to Make
