How to Make Delicious Double Cranberry Orange Sauce

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 (12-ounce) can cranberry juice concentrate and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar.
Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add 12 ounces fresh cranberries and 1 cup dried cranberries.
Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the dried cranberries soften and the fresh cranberries begin to pop, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup orange marmalade, ½ cup fresh orange juice, and 1 teaspoon ground allspice. (Optional: Add 1 tablespoon minced orange peel for extra zest!)
Let the sauce cool completely to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to 3 days) to allow the flavors to fully develop and the sauce to thicken.
