It’s hard to get excited about cranberry sauce. Come Thanksgiving, it’s mostly just an afterthought–often just scooped right out of the can and plopped into a bowl (if it’s remembered at all.) In fact, until I tried this amazing recipe from my Auntie Lois, I don’t think I ever realized that cranberry sauce could be something more.

It truly is delicious–the world’s BEST cranberry sauce. Even people who don’t normally like cranberry sauce (i.e. my husband) LOVE this recipe. And it can be made a few days ahead of time–it even tastes better that way–which can definitely help keep things calmer on Thanksgiving Day.

Try it just one time and you’ll never go back to the canned stuff!

Here’s what you need:

1 bag fresh cranberries

1 1/2 green tart apples, peeled

2 ripe pears, peeled

2 oranges, squeezed to make 1/2 c. orange juice

1/2 cup raisins

1 tbsp. orange rind

1 cup sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 c. triple sec (liquor)

STEP ONE: Mix all ingredients except the triple sec together in a saucepan. Bring to boil then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes until thickened.

STEP TWO: Stir in triple sec. Cool to room temperature and store in refrigerator until serving time.
