Scale
- 1 orange, zest and juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar (add more to taste)
- 3 cups fresh cranberries (12-ounce bag), rinsed
- 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, heat 1/2 cup water with the orange zest, orange juice, sugar, and salt over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cranberries and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the cranberries burst and the sauce has thickened slightly – about 7 minutes.
- Remove from heat, add Grand Mariner and stir. Sweeten with more sugar, if desired.
- Let the sauce cool to room temperature before serving, will thicken as it cools. Refrigerate in a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid to maintain freshness.
