There are many ways to make cranberry sauce, but this recipe for cranberry sauce with orange liqueur is a favorite. The orange liqueur adds a bright citrus flavor that perfectly complements the cranberries.

GRAND MARNIER CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH ORANGES



Grand Marnier Cranberry Sauce With Oranges image

This recipe is my family's favorite recipe for cranberry sauce. It appeared in a local newspaper about 10 years ago and I have made it every year since then. I always make two sauces if I'm having more than 8 guests - the other is usually Cranberry Sauce with Pears and Cardamom, which is very different from this sauce and gives people a choice of very different flavors and textures. I've always used Grand Marnier instead of the other choices of orange liqueur or orange juice concentrate, although when it comes to the fruit, I've used Minneola (aka Honeybell) or Orlando Tangeloes instead of Naval oranges. Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!

Time 30m

Yield 3 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 navel oranges
1 (12 ounce) bag cranberries
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup water
3 tablespoons orange liqueur or 3 tablespoons orange juice concentrate

Steps:

  • Grate 2 teaspoons zest from the oranges and set aside.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut away and discard the thick white pith from the oranges. Carefully cut between the membranes to release the orange sections. Set the orange sections in a colander to drain off the excess juice. (If you add the juice to the pan, it will be too watery.).
  • In a medium, heavy-bottomed, nonreactive saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, water and the zest. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often to help dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce is thick and the cranberries have burst, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • During the last few minutes, stir in the orange sections.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the Grand Marnier.
  • Cool completely.
  • The cranberry sauce can be prepared up to 1 week ahead, covered and refrigerated. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and a more vibrant color than frozen cranberries.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. Cranberry sauce should be cooked until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened, but it should not be cooked until the cranberries are mushy.
  • Add sugar to taste. The amount of sugar you add to the sauce will depend on your personal preference. If you like a sweeter sauce, add more sugar. If you prefer a less sweet sauce, add less sugar.
  • Add orange liqueur for a special flavor. Orange liqueur adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the sauce. If you don't have orange liqueur, you can substitute another type of citrus liqueur, such as lemon or lime liqueur.
  • Serve the sauce warm or cold. Cranberry sauce can be served warm or cold. If you are serving it warm, reheat it gently over low heat until it is warmed through. If you are serving it cold, chill it for at least 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

Cranberry sauce is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of dishes. It is a traditional Thanksgiving dish, but it can also be served with other meals, such as roast chicken, pork, or turkey. Cranberry sauce is also a great addition to sandwiches, wraps, and salads.
