Ingredients

1 pound fresh cranberries
2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup water
1 cinnamon stick
1 bay leaf
1 large sprig rosemary
zest and juice of 2 blood oranges

Directions

In a medium-sized pot, combine the cranberries, sugar, and water. Stir to blend. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to a simmer and add the cinnamon stick, bay leaf, and rosemary.
