  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 orange zest and juice only

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
  • In medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring cranberries (reserving some for garnish), 1/2 cup maple syrup and water to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until cranberries pop and mixture thickens, 8-10 minutes.
