Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 3 quarters cup granulated sugar
- 1 half cup water
- 1 quarter cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier
- 1 cinnamon stick
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the cranberries under cold water and pick out any that are soft or damaged.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, orange juice, and orange zest. Stir until the sugar begins to dissolve.
Step 3
Add the cranberries and the cinnamon stick to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce begins to thicken.
Step 5
Remove the cinnamon stick and stir in the Grand Marnier. Simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Step 7
Serve immediately at room temperature or refrigerate for up to a week until ready to use. Enjoy!
