Equipment

  • medium-sized saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces fresh cranberries
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick

Instructions
 

  • Pick out any cranberries that may be past their prime and discard them.
  • Add the cranberries, water, Grand Marnier, sugar, and cinnamon stick to a medium-sized saucepan. Give it a good stir.
  • Simmer the mixture over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes or so, until the cranberries start to pop and the sauce has started to thicken (stir occasionally).
  • At that point, reduce the heat and continue simmering until the sauce has thickened to your liking (about 10-12 minutes total).
  • Remove cinnamon stick and let the cranberry sauce cool. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
  • Store in the fridge in an airtight container.

Notes

This cranberry sauce is sweet, but it still has a bit of tartness from the cranberries. If you want a very sweet cranberry sauce, add another ¼ cup of sugar. It can be made ahead and will last a week or so in the fridge.
