Orange Amaretto Cranberry Sauce

It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without the cranberry sauce, and I have the winner right here. This is my most asked for Thanksgiving recipe. It's easier then you think and I actually make it a couple days ahead of time so no scrambling for those cranberries the day of.

2 12oz packages of whole cranberries.

1 1/2 C sugar

2/3 C orange juice

1/4 C water

2 to 3 slices of orange rind

3 tbs Amaretto liquor 

Add the cranberries to a large sauce pot.

Next mix in the sugar, orange juice, water, and orange rind.

Bring to a low boil for 3 to 4 minutes.

 Add the Amaretto and simmer for 20 minutes.

The mixture will thicken. Store in an air tight container and it will keep up to a week.
