Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh cranberries

- Zest of 1 orange

- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients on the counter and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Toast the Pecans: Spread raw pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.
- Cook the Cranberries: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh cranberries and granulated sugar. Stir occasionally until cranberries begin to burst (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add Flavor Boosters: Once most cranberries have popped, stir in orange zest and lemon juice. Simmer for an additional couple of minutes until slightly thickened.
- Mix in Pecans: Remove from heat and fold in the toasted pecans. Allow to cool completely before transferring to a serving bowl.
- Serve It Up!: Serve alongside roasted turkey or as a topping on cream cheese and crackers for a delightful appetizer.
