"This is one of my favorites cranberry sauce recipes, amounts may be doubled and you may adjust the sugar amount -- don't even think about making this using concentrated juice from a can or box you might as well use all water, although you could use half water and half fresh squeezed orange juice, I say for the best taste use all fresh orange juice!"
