Ingredients
Sugar 1 cup (200g)

pinch or two of orange zest (optional)
Raisins, currants, and blueberries to taste (optional)
teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Directions
- Absolutely! Grab a medium-sized saucepan and marry the sugar and water in a delightful mixture. Heat things up over medium heat, giving it a good stir until that sugar performs its disappearing act.
- Certainly! Introduce the cranberries to the party and crank up the temperature until things start to dance on the brink of boiling.
- Now, dial down the heat to medium-low, letting those cranberries throw a simmering soiree for about 10-15 minutes. They’ll burst into the limelight, and the sauce will strut its stuff, thickening as it goes. Give it a gentle stir every now and then, just to keep things interesting.
- Sure thing! When you opt to introduce the finely chopped walnuts, zesty orange peel, plump raisins, tiny currants, juicy blueberries, aromatic cinnamon, nutty nutmeg, and alluring allspice for the grand finale, sprinkle them into the mix during the concluding moments of this culinary symphony. Fine-tune the sweetness and spices to align with your taste preferences—after all, it’s your culinary masterpiece.
- When the cranberries have pulled off their grand performance, and the sauce has thickened to perfection, take the pot off the heat.
- Pop that creation into the refrigerator until showtime. This cranberry sensation can be prepped in advance and stored in the fridge, ready to dazzle for days.
