Tips for Making This Recipe
How to make cranberry reduction:
To make a cranberry reduction, take a 12-ounce bag of cranberries, rinse and add 4 ounces of orange juice and 4 ounces of simple syrup. Bring it to a boil, and let simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain out the solids, then chill in the freezer for 30 minutes to allow the reduction to thicken.
