How to Make Cranberry Sauce With Orange Liqueur
- Combine 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Add 12 ounces (about 3 cups) fresh or frozen cranberries. Return to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 10-12 minutes, or until most of the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and stir in the zest of 1 orange.
- Add 1/4 cup Grand Marnier or Cointreau. Stir well to combine.
- Let the cranberry sauce cool completely at room temperature. This allows the flavors to meld.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop and the sauce to thicken further. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
