Grand Marnier Cranberry Sauce Recipe
Listen, we’re not doing boring cranberry sauce this year. We’re doing cranberries simmered down with sugar, orange, and a good splash of Grand Marnier because holidays deserve a little upgrade. It’s tangy, sweet, and smooth with just enough kick to make you wonder why you ever ate the jiggly canned stuff.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 oz fresh or frozen cranberries
- ½ cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener
- 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
Instructions
- Heat a saucepan or Dutch oven on medium-high heat and add the cranberries, sweetener, orange juice, honey, and cinnamon. Stir.
- Reduce the heat to low and add in the Grand Marnier. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes.
- Cook time will vary based on how you like your sauce. I like for my cranberries to cook down, pop, and form a sauce. Some like to serve their cranberry sauce with the cranberries intact. It's up to you. I usually simmer the sauce for at least 15 minutes
- Allow the cranberry sauce to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate (covered) until chilled.
- I like to sprinkle it with orange zest prior to serving.

Notes
- Feel free to taste the sauce repeatedly and adjust to taste for sweetener.
- Add more or use less Grand Marnier, whatever suits your preference.
