Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
1 large navel orange, quartered lengthwise and sliced crosswise paper thin (including peel)
1/4 cup fresh or frozen cranberries (not thawed), thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur

Steps:

  • Bring water and sugar to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add orange and gently simmer over moderately low heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until peel begins to turn translucent and syrup is reduced to about 2/3 cup, 25 to 35 minutes.
  • Transfer to a heatproof bowl and cool. Stir in cranberries and Grand Marnier and chill, covered, until cold, about 1 hour.
