Rinse under cold water; return to saucepan. Add cranberries, sugar, butter, cinnamon, allspice, and salt and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Cook, stirring often and reducing heat as needed to avoid scorching, until cranberries burst, juices are syrupy, and pan is visible when a wooden spoon is dragged across the bottom, 12-15 minutes.

CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH BOURBON AND ORANGE
Michael Symon's family often breaks into a heated debate during Thanksgiving - but only because they can't agree on whether cranberry sauce should be canned or homemade. Most of his relatives are OK with canned, but not Michael, which is why he came up with this flavorful sauce. "This is my attempt to sway my family with the magic of bourbon," he says.

Steps:
- Combine the sugar and bourbon in a 1-quart saucepan, stirring well. Add the cinnamon sticks, ginger and orange zest and juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the liquid begins to reduce a bit, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the cranberries and vanilla bean and seeds to the pan and continue to simmer until the cranberries are soft and breaking apart and the sauce begins to thicken, 12 to 15 minutes. If desired, mash your cranberries with a sturdy whisk or potato masher, just to break them up, and simmer to thicken a little bit more, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and discard the cinnamon sticks, ginger pieces and vanilla bean. Let the sauce cool. Serve warm or at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 10 days - the flavors only get better as they chill out in the fridge.
ORANGE CINNAMON CRANBERRY SAUCE
I like my cranberry sauce fairly tart and not cooked too long so the cranberries still have their shape to them. Feel free to play with the proportions or the spices (sometimes clove or nutmeg is good too).

CHUNKY ORANGE CRANBERRY SAUCE
I have never liked cranberry sauce before. This year though, I have discovered that I like dried cranberries. So I decided to come up with a cranberry sauce that I can like. You can put in the raisins and the cranberries or one or none. It is up to your taste buds! For my tastes, I put in both. :) **Update Mar 30/08 - After the last time I made this, I threw the leftovers into a jar and popped it into the freezer. Then the next holiday, I just set it on the counter for the afternoon. Dumped some out for dinner and threw it back into the freezer. It was just as good the second time around as it was when it was made fresh.
