"This recipe was given to me by a friend of mine. It has been a family favorite for over ten years. I make it for Thanksgiving as well as Christmas dinner."

Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 20 min
Ready in 8 hrs 25 min
Ingredients
4 cups fresh cranberries
1 1/2 cups water or orange juice
5 whole cloves
5 whole allspice berries
3 cinnamon sticks
1 1/2 to 2 cups white sugar (depending on how sweet you want it.)
2 tablespoons Orange zest (optional)
Directions
Place fresh cranberries and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Wrap cloves, allspice berries and cinnamon sticks in a spice bag.
Place in the water with cranberries.
Cook until cranberries begin to burst, about 20 minutes.
Stir in sugar and reduce heat to low.
Continue cooking 5 minutes, or until sugar has dissolved.
Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Discard spice bag.
Chill in the refrigerator 8 hours, or overnight, before serving.
Cooks Note: This MADE our Thanksgiving dinner, and I will never go back to canned cranberries again. It was so easy. I wrapped up the spices in a coffee filter and tied with thread since I didn't have a spice bag.
Loupy's Note: I read a lot of the reviews on this recipe and so many people said they used orange juice instead of the water and then cut down on the sugar. I think that's what I'll do too.
