For a smoother sauce, gently mash some of the cranberries after they have popped. This releases more of their pectin and helps to thicken the sauce. The brandy adds a lovely warmth and depth of flavor, but can be omitted for an alcohol-free version. Consider substituting with 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. This cranberry sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Its flavors will meld and deepen over time. A pinch of orange zest will brighten the flavor
