Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds fresh cranberries
1 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup fresh orange juice

2 tablespoons grated orange rind
1/4 cup water
Instructions
Rinse cranberries and add to a large saucepan.
Add sugar, orange juice, orange rind and water.
Bring to low boil for 3-4 minutes. Lower heat to a simmer. The key here is to cook down the cranberries.
Add amaretto and continue to simmer for 20 minutes or until thickened.
Cranberry sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
