Freshly squeezed orange juice makes a big difference in this sauce.


1	package (12 ounces or 3 cups) fresh cranberries, rinsed and picked over
1	cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1	cup sugar
1	teaspoon lemon rind
1/4	teaspoon ground cinnamon
1	tablespoon orange liqueur

1. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine cranberries, orange juice, sugar, lemon rind, cinnamon, and orange liqueur. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

2. Cool to room temperature. Transfer to a covered container; refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Sauce keeps for 1 week. Adapted from Agatha Clancy
