Baked Cranberry Sauce

There’s nothing like the taste of homemade cranberry sauce and this recipe couldn’t be easier.

12 ounce bag of fresh cranberries
1¼ cups sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
¼ cup brandy or Grand Marnier

Equipment: Natural gas oven

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Rinse the cranberries and discard any bad ones. Place the cranberries in a baking dish. Mix together the sugar and spices and toss with the berries.

Cover tightly and bake for 50 to 55 minutes. Remove the cover and bake another 10 minutes or until the cranberries are tender.

Remove from the oven and stir in the brandy or Grand Marnier.

Place immediately in sterilized jars with screw-on lids. Let cool.

The jars will keep in the refrigerator all through the holiday season.
