1 pound fresh cranberries, rinsed
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup fresh orange juice
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup water
6 tablespoons cornstarch

1. In a medium, non-reactive saucepan bring the cranberries, sugar, orange and lemon juices, orange and lemon zests, vanilla and ½ cup of the water to a boil.
2. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the cranberries begin to pop, about 8 minutes.
3. In a small bowl dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining half-up of water and stir it into the cranberries.
4. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and stir constantly until the mixture thickens, about 10 to 15 minutes.
5. Remove from the heat and cool completely before serving.
