6 cups (two 12-ounce bags) cranberries
Zest and juice of 1 large orange
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Put all the ingredients in a 3- or 4-quart pot over medium-high heat, cover, and bring to a boil. Remove lid, reduce heat to medium low, and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have split their skins and the sauce thickens a bit, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve cold or at room temperature.
