Holiday Cranberry Sauce

You will need the following:
Sauce pot to hold 32 oz. raw cranberries....at least a 4 qt. pot

Ingredients:
32oz. raw cranberries
Sugar vs. Honey vs. Raw Sugar vs. Brown Sugar....the choice is yours in this each one gives a slightly different flavor to the cranberries. We prefer a tart cranberry sauce so 1/2 C of a sugar what I use. However if you are use to a sweeter sauce you will want to increase this to 1C.
Juice of one large orange
Zest of one large orange

Clean cranberries under running water in a colander and put into your pot with the sugar
Zest the orange add to pot and then juice the orange and add to pot
Bring the cranberries to full boil through a very low heat, simmering mostly for up to 1.5 hours. This will infuse all the flavors and not burn the cranberries. Check to make sure you have enough liquid a few times while it is cooking..add more orange juice if necessary but the cranberries should have enough moisture to them without extra juice.

Cool and refrigerate...this can be made ahead of your dinner by several days, keep in an airtight container.
