Instructions

Rinse the cranberries. Add all ingredients into a medium saucepan, apart from the orange liqueur and orange zest. Bring this mixture to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes. It shall then have thickened a bit.
Add in orange liqueur* and orange zest. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes or until you've reached the desired thickness. Remember it will thicken considerably in the fridge.
This orange cranberry sauce can be made days in advance. Store covered in the refrigerator. Served cold.

Notes

* There may still be traces of alcohol in the cranberry sauce even though much will evaporate. It's still only 2 tbsp and one person wouldn't eat the whole thing. If you still don't want alcohol in your orange cranberry sauce, you can substitute it with either nothing or more orange juice. But bear in mind, that if alcohol in such a small quantity doesn't matter, I would definitely add it in. The flavor of it was amazing in this orange cranberry sauce!
