Cranberry Orange Jalapeno Sauce

Ingredients:
  • 1 pkg fresh cranberries, rinsed & cleaned
  • 1 medium orange, cleaned & cut into chunks
  • 1-2 jalapeno peppers, cleaned, sliced & seeds removed
  • Grand Marnier
  • 1/2 - 1 cup sugar

Instructions:

  • Put first 3 ingredients through a food grinder
  • Add a couple splashes of Grand Marnier
  • Add 1/2 cup sugar
  • Mix well
  • Adjust Grand Marnier & sugar to taste.  
Make this at least one day before.  You don't need a lot of Grand Marnier in the sauce - with even a small bottle there'll be enough left over for after dinner!

Recipe by Lif Strand.  Try at your own risk.
