Five star flavor!! We like our sauce *thick* and this was a little too thin for my taste. Next time all I will do is cut back on the water a little bit...but it will be back!

I have been making this for several years and it is wonderful! Be sure to take the time to use fresh orange zest and not dried orange peal - much better! I make this and can it so that we can have great sauce throughout the year. WONDERFUL!

This is the best cranberry sauce I've ever had! The flavor and texture are amazing and compliment turkey and stuffing perfectly. I will never serve the stuff out of the can again!

Boyfriend said this was really good, but only ate one portion. The rest went to waste because I'm not a cranberry fan.

I found this to be a very good cranberry sauce, the orange flavor worked well with the cranberry and the brandy was an excellent finish. Used this at Christmas and everyone who tried it, complimented me.

My husband wanted homemade Cranberry sauce instead of the canned kind. I don't like cranberry sauce, but after trying this, it was really good.

I actually didn't care for this. It was way too sweet for me and I ended up tossing it out. No one else ate much of it either. Sorry!

A great cranberry sauce! A bit time consuming getting the zest of 8 oranges (I did a double batch and only did 6 oranges) but well worth the effort. Also used the juice from zested oranges. Has a great orange taste and the brandy really brings it all together. I make a new cranberry dish every year but might have to keep with this one...it got lots of compliments! New comments (one batch recipe): this year we didn't have any orange juice on hand so I used only 1 cup of the orange water. Also used 1 cup white sugar and 1 cup brown sugar. The bag of fresh cranberries was about 4 cups and it boiled into a nice consistancy in about 15 minutes.

Absolutely the best cranberry sauce you will ever taste. Perfectly sweet & perfectly tart - it doesn't get better than this! 2 tablespoons of brandy does the trick! No disappointment here. Thanks for sharing.

I am not a "big fan" of cranberry sauce but my husband requested cranberry sauce for this years thanksgiving. I browsed the net trying to find an appealing recipe and was interested by all of the positive feedback. I made the sauce tonight as a 'trial' and will be making it again for our first thanksgiving dinner with the family (where I have to cook!) This recipe has a very sweet but tart taste and the brandy brings out many pleasant flavors. Great recipe, thank you!

This is the best! I like to try different cranberry sauce recipes, but stopped with this one. I did cut the sugar a bit, but all the zest is what makes it special. My MIL requests this for every holiday dinner since the first time she tasted it. Even all the kids like it!

This is a great cranberry sauce. I don't use grated zest. Instead I use a vegetable peeler to slice some of the orange peel into long strips. After boiling in step 1, I cut/chop some of the orange peel into small pieces. I discard the extra peel. I don't measure my cranberries. I just use 1 whole bag of fresh cranberries. In step 3, I boil for a lot longer (15 mins??). I like my cranberry sauce to be very thick. I usually use an orange flavored brandy.

I've made this recipe for the past few Thanksgivings and I really like the flavor. I like my sauce slightly more jelled than the 10 minute cooking time allows, so I begin checking with spoonfuls on a cold plate at 10 minutes and cook until thicker. This year I cooked it closer to 20 minutes. Yum!

We found this recipe one Thanksgiving while looking for home made cranberry recipes. THIS recipe is the reason I joined allrecipes.com!!! All I can say is that I don't think I can ever go back to the canned stuff again. My husband either! I made it for him last year and he went back for seconds after years of the canned stuff. The orange zest is a bit much. We use only a tablespoon or two at most. We cut the orange juice in half as well so that the taste is not to tangy and the cranberry taste can come through.

I substituted 2-3 tsp of bottle dry orange peel instead of the orange zest. It was such a hit at the Thanksgiving table - there was nothing left. Now, that's something!!

My sister and I whipped this recipe up the night before Thanksgiving and it was a winner. My taste rating is a 4 star because I thought it was just a little off, but everyone liked it so well...that I couldn't bring myself to give it a lower rating. We did have to zest the orange using a grater as I could not find my zester. Anyway, you won't miss with this recipe.

This was good, but I didn't get the method of cooking the zest in 2 cups of water and then draining it to a 1/3 of a cup. Next time, I would just use less water. I also used about 1/2 the sugar.
