Rinse cranberries and discard any that are bruised or damaged

In medium saucepan, over a medium heat combine orange juice and sugar. Cook until sugar has melted into the juice

Stir in cranberries

Cook and stir until they begin to pop (this is such a fun moment and sound!)

Continue to stir and allow to cook for a few more minutes

Remove from heat and pour into sauce bowl

The cranberry sauce will continue to thicken as it cools down
