Orange Cinnamon Cranberry Sauce

Submitted by Geca1170

"I like my cranberry sauce fairly tart and not cooked too long so the cranberries still have their shape to them. Feel free to play with the proportions or the spices (sometimes clove or nutmeg is good too)."

Made a couple of changes, though nothing significant, I thought ~ I substituted cranberry juice for the water, Triple Sec for the liqueur & then cooked it all for not quite 8 minutes, & it made for a wonderfully flavorful cranberry sauce! Something I'd like to make again, for sure! Thanks for posting the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Cookbook recipe tag]
