Rinse the fresh cranberries in a colander, checking for cracked ones or debris.

Measure out 10 oz of mandarin orange juice from a can.

Measure 1 and 1/3 cups of white granulated sugar.

Turn the heat on to medium.

Add the rinsed cranberries to a pot and pour in the mandarin orange juice.

Add the sugar to the pot and stir to combine.

Watch for the cranberries to start cracking and bubbling as they cook.

Once the cranberries begin to pop, add the mandarin oranges from the can.

Remove any white frothy stuff that forms on top, if desired.

Add Chinese five spice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the pot.

Stir the mixture to combine the spices and continue cooking until thickened.
