Cranberry Sauce for my Dad

Print Recipe
Course sauce
Servings 2 cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 12-ounce bag of cranberries
  • orange juice to cover about 2 cups
  • ¼ Meyer's rum
  • ¾ cup brown sugar less if you like tart, more if you've got a serious sweet tooth
  • pinch of salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 tbsp Grand Marnier optional
  • zest from half an orange

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients except the Grand Marnier and orange zest in a pot. Simmer on medium-low to low until thick, about an hour and a half, or until you have 2 cups. Taste, and add more sugar if you wish, but it should be somewhat tart.
  • Allow to cool.
  • Serve cold or at room temperature, adding the Grand Marnier (if using) and, last, the orange zest before serving.
