1 cup sugar

2/3 cup water

1/3 cup amaretto liqueur

1 package (12 ounce size) fresh or frozen cranberries

1 orange, juiced

1 tablespoon orange zest

Bring sugar, water, and Amaretto to a boil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.

Add cranberries, stir, and return to a boil.

Reduce heat and boil gently, stirring occasionally, for about 8 to 10 minutes or until cranberries pop.

Remove from heat, add orange juice and zest, and cool.
