Boozy Fresh Cranberry-Orange Sauce image

Why buy canned cranberry sauce when you can easily make your own from fresh cranberries, sugar, water, and a little bit of fresh orange? Cointreau®, or another orange-flavored liqueur, gives this sauce an extra flavor boost. It's perfect with ham, chicken, or turkey, whether it's a holiday or not.
