Cranberry Sauce

A very delicious taste for thanksgiving and a unique looking add-on the table.


Ingredients

1 14-oz. package fresh or thawed frozen cranberries.
1 ½ cup packed light brown sugar.
½ cup fresh orange juice.
⅓ cup Grand Marnier or Cointreau.
8 whole black peppercorns.
6 whole allspice berries.
5 whole cloves.
1 2" stick cinnamon, broken in half.

Method


Heat the cranberries, sugar, orange juice, and Grand Marnier in a 2-qt. saucepan over medium heat.
Place the peppercorns, allspice, cloves, and cinnamon in a piece of cheesecloth and tie ends with kitchen twine; add spice bundle to cranberry mixture.
Cook, stirring often, until cranberries soften and mixture thickens, 25-30 minutes.
Transfer mixture to a medium bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld. Discard spice bundle and stir sauce before serving.
