- 1 pound fresh cranberries
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 6 tablespoons Grand Marnier
- 2/3 cup coarsely chopped pecans
- Wash and pick over cranberries for foreign pieces. Combine in heavy saucepan with sugar, water and orange juice. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and cook at a gentle boil until most cranberries have popped. (Don't wait until all of them pop; otherwise, the cranberries will become too soft.) Remove from heat.
- Stir in Grand Marnier, and chill.
- A couple of hours before serving, stir in the pecans.
