Homemade Cranberry Sauce

In a large saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.

Add the cranberries and return to a boil. Once a boil is reached, lower the heat so that the mixture simmers.

When you hear the popping of the cranberries and the liquid becomes a burgundy shade, it is time to add the rest of the ingredients.

Add apples, walnuts, Grand Marnier (or 1/4 cup additional fresh juiced orange), lemon and orange juices, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and orange zest.

Continue to simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the sauce cool.

Serve in a side bowl with any holiday dish!

Note: serving count based on a serving size of 1/2 cup.
