Sam's Spicy Cranberry-Orange Sauce

Sam's Spicy Cranberry-Orange Sauce balances bright, tart cranberries with sweet orange marmalade and a kick of jalapeño heat. Notes of lime and orange liqueur add a citrusy depth, while apple and bell pepper round out the texture. Serve it alongside holiday roasts, spoon over turkey sandwiches, or pair with cheese boards for a lively accent.

    Cook until the cranberries crack open. Lower the heat and simmer until the mixture reduces by one third (approximately 3 hours). Take off the heat, cover, and let cool overnight.
