CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH BOURBON AND VANILLA BEAN AND ORANGE

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and bourbon, stirring well, in a 1-quart saucepan. Add the cinnamon, ginger, orange zest and juice. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the liquid begins to reduce a little bit, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the cranberries and vanilla bean and continue to simmer until the cranberries are soft and breaking apart and the sauce begins to thicken, 12 to 15 minutes.
• If desired, mash your cranberries with a sturdy whisk or potato masher, just to break up the cranberries, and simmer to thicken a little bit more, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and discard the cinnamon sticks, ginger pieces and vanilla bean. Allow the sauce to cool. Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 10 days -- the flavors only get better as they chill out in the fridge.

• 3. Add Turbinado sugar, chipotle, adobo, butter and the bourbon to the cranberry mixture, then mix and turn on the heat.
• 4. You don't want to turn on the heat under the pot until you add the bourbon because things could go BAM and start a fire. Just the smallest amount of alcohol could ignite.
• 5. Cook this for about 30 minutes until it all the flavors have gotten all groovy, on a real low heat, whisk often. Let this mixture cool a bit, after it has cooled strain the turkey basting sauce and throw out the peels and chipotle.
