Add craisins, orange zest, maple syrup, orange juice, water, and a cinnamon stick to a small saucepan. Stir to mix the ingredients.
1 cup Craisins, 1 1/2 Tablespoon Maple Syrup, Zest from one Orange, 1/2 cup Orange Juice, 1 cup Water, 1 Cinnamon Stick
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered for 8-10 minutes. The craisins will become plump and soft.
Carefully blend into a smooth sauce using a blender or an immersion hand blender. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
Refrigerate before serving.

This recipe uses sweetened dried cranberries. If you prefer a more tart sauce, you can use unsweetened.

If you don't have maple syrup, you can use brown sugar or and adjust the amount of sugar to your liking.

Instead of a blender to puree this delicious cranberry sauce you can use a food processor.

Make a double batch, and use a medium saucepan so you have leftovers to freeze for another day.
