Grand Marnier Cranberry Sauce
"Here in the Pacific NW we have lots of fresh cranberries around the holidays and this is a must-have at our holiday meals. As a tip, I always put some foil on the bottom of the oven under this dish when I cook it, because it always seems to boil over and make a mess. This way, cleanup is easy."

This was excellent. I am not a huge cranberry fan, nor is most of my family, but this recipe disappeared. One note - it does taste much better if made ahead, and allowed to sit in the refrigerator for a day or so. -
I have used this recipe for years but without orange juice. I use 1 c. sugar and often double the recipe. I use 1/4 c Grand Marnier and grated orange peel on top. I absolutely love and so does everyone I serve it to. It is so good cold on turkey sandwiches after Thanksgiving! Yea! -
Ridiculously simple and quick to throw together and tastes fantastic. Everyone, including the kids, loved this! -
Fabulous! I've made this the past 2 years on Thanksgiving, and it's been loved by all. I did halve the sugar, because it just seemed like way too much to me. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

I really enjoyed the cranberries prepared this way. My dh had cranberries in a can while I had cranberry bliss. Seriously, they were so good. They made our Christmas dinner that much better. Thank you so much for sharing a recipe that I will make for years to come. Made for Sweet December 2014

October 30, 2008: A recipe so simple yet tastes out of this world!!!!!! This is a wonderful cranberry sauce with a delicious hint of Grand Marnier!! I will definitely make this recipe over and over, it is one of the best cranberry sauces I have tasted. I used just regular orange juice instead of the concentrate and it turned out great! I used it to add to recipe#333677 tonight but I can definitely see serving this one at Thanksgiving. Do follow the suggestion of the oven liner because it does boil over a little bit while baking. Thank you so much for posting this wonderful recipe!! Update: Thanksgiving, 2008; made for my Thanksgiving meal and it was a total hit!!! Thanks!!!
