Baked Cranberry Sauce a'la Orange

This recipe is so great - you just bake the cranberry sauce along with the turkey. There are similar recipes here on Zaar for stovetop Cranberry/Orange Sauce but I love doing it in the oven while the big bird is roasting. Will keep for up to 2 weeks. This is a Chatelaine recipe
