Ingredients
Juice and zest of 2 oranges (about 1 cup)
1 cup sugar
3 sprigs thyme, tied with twine
1/8 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
1 pound fresh or frozen cranberries
Salt, to taste
Preparation
Combine orange juice, zest, sugar, thyme, and red pepper flakes in a wide, shallow saute pan over medium heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Add cranberries and simmer until soft but not broken, about 4 minutes. Stir to break down slightly, remove thyme, and season with salt. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
