Cranberry Orange Sauce

Directions

1. 1
   Add the sugar, water and orange zest to a medium saucepan set over high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Once boiling, add the frozen cranberries and mix to combine. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes, until most of the cranberries have popped open.
2. 2
   Remove from the heat. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
3. 3
   Add in the orange liqueur and mix to combine. The mixture will continue to thicken as it cools down.
4. 4
   Let the sauce cool before serving. If not using right away, store in a covered container in the refrigerator. Bring the sauce to room temperature before serving. This sauce can be made up to several days in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.
