Brighten your holiday table with this vibrant Cranberry Orange Sauce combining fresh cranberries, orange zest and juice, warming cinnamon, and a splash of Grand Marnier for sophisticated flavor. The natural pectin in cranberries creates the perfect thick consistency as they simmer and burst. Serve at room temperature to complement turkey, ham, or pork. Make ahead and refrigerate for convenience and deeper flavor development.
