I enjoy my cranberries baked this way. The brandy helps to cut down on the tartness of the cranberries, while the sugar gives it just enough sweetness.

I just made this tonight, using three bags of cranberries and adjusting the amounts of other ingredients accordingly. It made exactly enough for six 4-oz gift jars and a Mason jar to take to my Mom's for Thanksgiving. I used a 10 X 15 Pyrex pan and made the mistake of cooking it for an hour, thinking I'd need more time for more cranberries; while it turned out fine, several berries had escaped my tight foil cover and made a mess in the oven. Next time I'll check on it earlier :). As Bergy suggested, I used a little less sugar, and I substituted a half cup brown sugar and half cup Splenda for one of the cups of granulated sugar. I did end up adding a bit more Splenda after the brandy, but it was nice to be able to adjust it to fit my taste. I also added just a tiny bit of salt and freshly ground pepper to add a savory aspect to the sweetness. The cranberries taste wonderful freshly made and I expect they will only improve, plus they look simply beautiful in the jars. I have a feeling this would also make a great topping for baked brie or a cream cheese spread with crackers. Thank you so much for this lovely recipe!!Reply
