Prepping day; Jersey Fresh Cranberry Sauce with a Splash of Grand Marnier

We are famous here in New Jersey for lots of things. Home of the Sopranos, the Jersey Shore crew, and some of the best Cranberry Bogs in the USA.

Why would anyone settle for canned cranberry sauce when making your own is quick and easy? This recipe is very adaptable, so I will give you the basics to start with. It can be modified with nuts, more sugar, cinnamon, or even apple chunks. Feel free to make it your own and proudly announce to your guests: The Cranberry Sauce is home-made!
