How to Make Uncle Bill's Special Cranberry Sauce
- Wash 12 ounces of fresh cranberries thoroughly under cold water.
- If using frozen cranberries (12 ounces), thaw completely before proceeding.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, 1 cup orange juice, ½ cup water, 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup orange-pineapple marmalade, 1 cinnamon stick, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon orange zest.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until most of the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and discard.
- Allow the sauce to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
- (Optional) For an adult twist, add 2 tablespoons of Grand Marnier or another orange liqueur during the simmering process. This adds a sophisticated depth of flavor.
