Grand Marnier Cranberry Sauce!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I use 3/4 cup sugar in this recipe.
I bake it in a 3-quart covered casserole, which keeps it from spilling over in the oven.

Grand Marnier Cranberry Sauce recipe:

1 12 ounce package of fresh cranberries 
3/4 cup sugar (I like things fairly tart... add more sugar for a sweeter sauce) 
2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice 
1 Tablespoons grated orange peel 
2-3 Tablespoons Grand Marnier 

Preheat oven to 325ยบ.  Place cranberries in a glass baking dish and toss with sugar. If your taste runs fairly sweet, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar. Stir in orange juice and peel. Cover tightly with foil and place on a baking sheet (experience has shown that on occasion the berries can boil over! Best to be safe and place on a baking sheet). Place in the oven and bake for about an hour or until the berries are very soft and juicy. Remove from the oven and stir in the Grand Marnier (the aroma is intoxicating!). Cover and refrigerate. Can be made up to 3 days in advance.
