1 pounds of fresh cranberries
3 cups of sugar
l/4 c orange liqueur or orange juice

Arrange cranberries on an oiled baking pan; add Orange liqueur and pour sugar over them.Let this sit for about 1 hour, then cover with foil and bake in 350 degree oven for 50 minutes, stirring occasionally. Chill to room temperature and serve with whipped cream or spoon over sherbet or vanilla ice cream. You can also serve this warm as a sauce chocolate cake. Use like you would use a raspberry sauce.
