How to Make Cranberry Sauce L Orange

  1. Combine 12 ounces fresh cranberries, 1 medium apple (peeled, cored, and diced), 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup orange juice in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 (3-ounce) package orange-flavored gelatin and 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier until completely dissolved.
  4. Pour the cranberry sauce into a bowl or airtight container. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. Before serving, garnish with mandarin orange slices for a beautiful and festive touch.
