Notes

Here is another recipe for Cranberries with a twist of Triple Sec - Drunken Cranberry Jam. I made this one last year just before Thanksgiving and it is also now gone from the pantry. The orange flavor of the Triple Sec was a great combination with the Cranberries to form a tart but sweet jam.
