Vanadium

• ¾ cup sugar
• ½ cup orange juice
• ½ cup water
• 12 oz fresh cranberries rinsed and picked through
• pinch of salt
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 piece of orange peel just use a potato peel or paring knife

1. Combine sugar, orange juice, and water in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir to combine.
2. Add cranberries, salt, cinnamon stick and orange peel.
3. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently.
4. Continue cooking, for about 10 minutes, or until all or most of the cranberries have popped. I like to leave a handful of berries whole.
5. Let cool for at least 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
