Step 1
To create a delightful cranberry sauce, start by gathering a medium saucepan and combining fresh cranberries, sugar, water, orange zest, orange juice, a splash of orange-flavored liqueur, and a pinch of salt.

Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring the mixture gently but constantly until it reaches a lively boil.
