Mels Triple Sec Cranberry Orange Cinnamon Sauce Recipe


Mels Triple Sec Cranberry Orange Cinnamon Sauce Recipe
My version of cranberry sauce. Everyone who has tasted it develops a love of the whole berries. It's really different. Don't skimp on the Triple Sec/Grand Marnier. I prefer Grand Marnier.

Mel, you're hitting the right notes with me on this, I love citrus and cranberry. The Grand Marnier would be the icing on the cake for me. I count on Grand Marnier for cough syrup, ummm, cough coff, cough, I think I need a little dose to help with the scratchy throat. LOL Love the post.


Hmm... I need to post the Cherry Bounce recipe if you like "cough syrup". LOL!


Mellian, you are a GENIUS! I would have to say I am not a lover of cranberry sauce...until now, that is. This sounds delish!!


I'm not big on cranberry sauce either but would make this (and at least give it a try) in a heartbeat! Ooooo, I should make this for Fake Thanksgiving!!! (And I just added this to the Thanksgiving group - hope you don't mind)


Do you think if I make this for my children they will go to bed easier? jk
