Homemade cranberry sauce gets an extra flavor punch from Grand Marnier. The tart cranberries with flavors of orange and vanilla make this quick recipe special.

Ingredients
1cupunsweetened cranberry juice
1cupwhite sugar
12ouncesfresh whole cranberries
1TbGrand Marnier
Instructions
Add the cranberry juice and sugar to a large pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil.
Once boiling, add the fresh cranberries. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. The berries will pop as they cook, so be careful to keep your hand away.
If you want to tame the alcohol flavors, add the Grand Marnier with the cranberries (before cooking). If you want to know that there is booze in the recipe, add the Grand Marnier after the cranberries have cooked.
Pour the sauce into a heat-safe container and refrigerate for 24 hours before serving.
