Description

Our Boozy Cranberry-Orange Sauce is extraordinarily easy and FAST to make. A dash of Grand Marnier and a hint of orange, sealed in a preserve jar, make it a beautiful homemade hostess gift over the holidays!


Ingredients

Units 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

  1. 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.
  2. Remove from heat, add Grand Mariner and stir. Sweeten with more sugar, if desired.
  3. 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.
