Make a classic cranberry sauce with the perfect texture: whole, tart berries floating in a rich, sweet sauce. For a more vibrant flavor, add a strip of orange or lemon zest to the pan with the cranberries (a vegetable peeler is the easiest way to remove the zest). And don't forget to season with salt and pepper at the end, no matter how strange this idea may seem. Salt helps bring out the cranberries' berry flavor, and black pepper adds a warm, spicy note.

Ingredients:

• 1 package (340 g) fresh or frozen cranberries
• 0.5 cup sugar + more if needed
• 1 strip of orange or lemon zest

Preparation:

Step 1
• Place the cranberries in a saucepan and transfer 1/2 cup of water to a small bowl. Add the sugar, zest, and 2 tablespoons of water to the saucepan with the cranberries and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the cranberries are soft, about 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium and simmer until the berries burst, about 12 minutes.
Step 2
• Reduce heat to low and stir in the remaining cranberries. Remove the zest from the pan. Add sugar, salt, and black pepper to taste. Cool the cranberry sauce to room temperature and serve.
