Nicole’s Best-Ever Cranberry Sauce

Whenever I make this special sauce, someone asks for the recipe! That’s a nice compliment for any cook!

Nicole’s Best-Ever Cranberry Sauce:

One 12 oz. (340 g) pkg. fresh cranberries

1 c. (250 mL) granulated sugar

¾ c. (175 mL) fresh orange juice

1 tbsp. (15 mL) freshly grated orange zest

2 tbsp. (30 mL) tart orange marmalade

1-to-2  tbsp. 15-to-30 mL) brandy or orange-flavored liqueur, to taste (optional)

Add all ingredients except brandy to medium-sized saucepan, stirring uncovered 8-to-10 minutes on medium heat until berries burst and mixture thickens. Cool 45 minutes at room temperature before stirring in brandy. Refrigerate until needed.

Combine everything except brandy.

Cook over medium heat until berries burst.

Perfect every time! You’ll never use canned sauce, again!
