Quick Cranberry Sauce

Quick Cranberry Sauce

4 cups (16 oz) fresh or frozen cranberries 1 1/2 cups apple jelly or orange marmalade (about 1 1/2 twelve oz. jars) 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 t. grated orange zest (optional)

In a medium pan, over medium high heat, combine the cranberries, jelly or marmalade, 1/4 cup water, sugar (1/3 cup if using jelly, 1/2 cup if using marmalade) and zest, if using. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens, 7 to 10 minutes. The marmalade version will stay a bit runny. Remove from heat; let cool. Transfer to a dish, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days. Serves 6 to 8
