For a more nuanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of ground cinnamon or a splash of orange liqueur to the cranberry sauce during the simmering process. Toasting the walnuts before adding them to the sauce will enhance their nutty flavor and add an extra layer of complexity to the dish. This cranberry sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve. The flavors will continue to develop over time.
