For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can gently mash some of the cranberries after baking. The alcohol in the liqueur will mellow as it cooks, but for a non-alcoholic version, substitute orange juice and a splash of brandy extract. This cranberry sauce pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, pork, and even brie cheese.
