Rich Cranberry & Orange Syrup
Ingredients:
Peels from 3 oranges
2 cups of fresh cranberries
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
Instructions:
In a container with a lid, add the orange peels, cranberries, and sugar.
Muddle the cranberries to pop them open a little and allow the sugar to extract the oils from the orange and the juices from the cranberries overnight.
After 24 hours take the mixture and put it in a small saucepan, and add the water.
Heat it gently for a few minutes to dissolve the sugar and allow the cranberries to open a bit more, do not bring it to a boil so you can preserve the fresh cranberry flavor.
Strain the syrup through a fine sieve, pressing the cranberries to extract all the juice as much as possible.
Store in a food-safe container for up to 1 month.
