Instructions
Combine water, maple syrup, bourbon, orange zest, orange juice, cinnamon stick and salt in a sauce pot over medium heat.
Whisk together and bring to a simmer.
Add cranberries and stir to combine.
Cover the pot with a lid slightly askew. Simmer until cranberries have popped and completely softened, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Turn off heat and let rest until sauce has thickened. The sauce can be placed in the refrigerator to speed up cooling time.
Transfer to a dish and discard cinnamon stick before serving. Garnish with additional orange zest.
