Cranberry Orange Sauce with Grand Marnier

Serves 8 as Side.

I make this for Thanksgiving every year. It's always a crowd pleaser.

It's OK to use Gran Gala instead of Grand Marnie for this recipe. But I wouldn't use Triple Sec or the lovely flavor would be compromised.

• 1 12 oz. bag fresh cranberries
  
• 1 pkg unflavored gelatin
  
• 1/2 c water
  
• 1 c sugar
  
• 1 whole orange
  
• 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
  
• 1/4 c Grand Marnier or Gran Gala
  

Rinse and pick over cranberries to remove any defective ones. Add gelatin, water and sugar to pot. Add cranberries and microplaned zest from the orange and heat over medium heat stirring well to dissolve gelatin. Meanwhile, remove pith from the orange, check for seeds and puree orange flesh in blender or processor. Add pureed orange to the sauce and continue heating until boiling. Allow sauce to boil for about 6-8 minutes until berries have all popped or are soft enough to crush against the side of the pot with a spoon. Remove from heat. Add pumpkin pie spice and Grand Marnier and allow to cool, then refrigerate. Serve on the side of Thanksgiving turkey or roast chicken.
