Instructions: Sort cranberries and discard any soft or spoiled ones. Rinse and drain berries.

Mix cranberries, sugar, brandy, and orange peel in an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish. Bake, uncovered, in a 325 degree oven until berries are tender when pierced and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Serve warm or cool.

This recipe yields about 2 cups; 10 to 12 servings.

Comments: Sauce can be made up to 1 week ahead. To serve warm, reheat in a microwave oven.
