  • 1 (12 oz) bag fresh cranberries, rinsed
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons Cointreau liqueur, optional

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan combine cranberries, orange juice, water, brown sugar, vanilla, Cointreau, and salt. Set over medium-high heat and bring mixture to a boil, then immediately reduce heat medium-low. Let simmer about 10 – 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cranberries have burst and sauce has reduced slightly.
