Cranberry Sauce with Grand Marnier


I made this cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving dinner this year. It was the best one I've ever made, or tasted!

I found the original recipe on Martha Stewart's website and adjusted it to cut the sugar and add orange zest.

It goes great with your winter holiday meals and also as a chutney for cheese and crackers.

Ingredients
2 cups fresh cranberries
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup fresh orange juice (juice from one orange)
ground allspice
ground cloves
fresh ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
Cinnamon
Orange zest

Directions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients.
  2. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook, stirring often, until syrupy, 15 to 20 minutes. 
  3. Zest one orange and stir into sauce.
  4. Transfer mixture to a bowl, let cool, and refrigerate until needed.
