GRAND MARNIER CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH ORANGES
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!

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Place cranberries in 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle sugar, then orange juice concentrate over. Cover tightly with foil. Bake until juices form and cranberries are very soft, about 1 hour. Uncover; mix in liqueur. Cover and refrigerate until very cold, about 4 hours. Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Keep chilled.
Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries are more flavorful and will hold their shape better than frozen cranberries.
- Don't overcook the sauce. The sauce should be cooked until the cranberries have just burst and the sauce has thickened, about 15 minutes. Overcooking will make the sauce bitter.
- Add the Grand Marnier and orange zest at the end of cooking. This will allow the flavors to meld without overpowering the sauce.
- Serve the sauce warm or cold. The sauce can be served warm as a side dish for roasted turkey or chicken, or cold as a topping for ice cream or pancakes.
- Make the sauce ahead of time. The sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
Conclusion:
Grand Marnier cranberry sauce with oranges is a delicious and easy-to-make sauce that is perfect for any holiday meal. The combination of tart cranberries, sweet oranges, and rich Grand Marnier liqueur creates a sauce that is both flavorful and festive. Whether you serve it warm or cold, this sauce is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
