A homemade Cranberry Orange Chipotle Sauce that's sure to impress your friends and family this holiday season. It's a little sweet, a little spicy, and a whole lot of delicious.
Place your saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the orange juice and sugar mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Once it's boiling, reduce to medium heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves
Grate the zest of one orange directly into the saucepan. This zesty addition will bring a burst of citrusy freshness to your sauce.
Introduce the star of the show: those smoky and spicy chipotle peppers. Mince up three of them and add them to the cranberry mixture. If you're a spice lover, feel free to add more for an extra kick.
Let everything simmer together for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened. Don't forget to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
