Servings 2 cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 12-ounce bag cranberries
  • 2 cups orange juice just enough to cover the cranberries
  • ¼ cup Meyer's rum optional
  • ¾ cup brown sugar less if you like it more tart
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier optional
  • zest from ½ orange or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients except the Grand Marnier and orange zest in a pot. Simmer on medium-low to low until thick, about an hour and a half, or until you have 2 cups. Taste, and add more sugar if you wish, but it should be somewhat tart.
  • Allow to cool.
  • Serve cold or at room temperature, adding the Grand Marnier (if using) and, last, the orange zest before serving.
