A family recipe we have used for years. We love it as a side dish to our turkey on Thanksgiving day. Also goes well on chicken, pork, and beef. Makes a great treat as an appetizer served with crackers, or can even be used over vanilla ice cream. I like to add the orange zest a couple tablespoons at a time, as not to overdo it. Adjust sweetness by adding 1 tablespoon sugar at a time at the end of cooking if needed.
Ingredients
- ½ cups white sugar: 1 piece (to taste)
- orange juice: 1 cup (freshly squeezed)
- cranberries: 1 pack (12 ounce pack, divided)
- jigger tequila: 1 piece (1.5 fluid ounce)
- ½ oranges, zested: 1 piece

Heat a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir sugar, orange juice, half the cranberries, and tequila in the warmed saucepan until mixture is slightly reduced, about 20 minutes. Add the remaining cranberries and orange zest; cook and stir until cranberries begin to pop, 10 to 15 minutes.
