Ingredients

• 2 Cups fresh cranberries
• 1 Cup sugar
• 0.33 Cups brandy-based orange liqueur

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). This low and slow cooking method will help the flavors develop deeply.
2. In a baking dish, combine the fresh cranberries, sugar, and brandy-based orange liqueur. Stir well to ensure the cranberries are evenly coated.
3. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Stir the mixture every 20 minutes to prevent sticking and to help the cranberries break down evenly.
4. Once the sauce has thickened and the cranberries have burst, remove the dish from the oven. Allow it to cool slightly before transferring to a tightly-covered container.
5. Store the sauce in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop. This sauce can be made up to two weeks in advance.
