I am running behind, way behind on my Thanksgiving dinner preparations. Painting, cleaning, sorting. I need a vacation, urgently! Do you feel the same?
Nevertheless, still time to make some homemade cranberry sauce. Don’t give in; no store bought jelly-like stuff, alright! This is my favorite recipe. It enhances the flavors of the cranberries with cinnamon, oranges and Cointreau. It will go perfectly with your Thanksgiving turkey.
Ingredients:
* 3 cups fresh cranberries
* zest of two oranges
* juice of two oranges
* 3/4 cup sugar
* 1 Tablespoon Cointreau
* 2 cinnamon sticks
Directions:
Mix all the ingredients in a medium sized pot. Cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes. Let cool and discard the cinnamon sticks before serving.
Enjoy!

This looks wonderful, Kirsten! I sure wish we have fresh cranberries over here!
Happy Thanksgiving, hope you have a wonderful day with your family!
Omigosh, Kirsten, this is delicious!! I made one recipe thinking we would take it to our family dinner tomorrow in Castle Pines but quickly realized my husband and I would have it eaten in a nanosecond. Just returned from a run to King Sooper in order to buy enough ingredients to triple the recipe. I will never, ever use canned cranberry sauce again:)
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

Happy Thanksgiving Kirsten and Family! I too am looking forward to putting my feet up after cooking the big meal. Busy times. Great photo … love that dish.
What a wonderful combination of flavors. I love cranberry sauce and always look for a new twist-this one is finding its way to my table! Happy Thanksgiving dear friend, XOXO
This sounds fabulous. My cranberry sauce sounds much like this but I've never added Cointreau but I will now. Happy Thanksgiving my friend!
