Cranberries provide natural pectin, so a short simmer creates a spoonable sauce without added gelatin. Orange zest and juice sharpen the fruit, while maple syrup and cinnamon soften its tart edge without making it taste flat or overly sweet.
Cool completely, cover, and refrigerate for up to 7 days. The sauce thickens as it chills.
Reheat gently in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until just warmed; add a splash of water if it has become too thick. It may also be served cold.
