Partially cowl the pot and convey the combination to a boil over medium-high warmth, then uncover, scale back the warmth to medium-low, and simmer for 12–quarter-hour, stirring sometimes. Cut back the warmth to low if the sauce is sticking or effervescent too quickly. As soon as the cranberries have damaged down and the sauce has thickened, stir within the zest and take away from the warmth; the sauce will proceed to thicken because it cools. Style, and should you’d like a contact of maple syrup, stir it in.
