Steps:

• Place in a container with a tight seal, preferably glass. Add cognac, stir and seal.
• Allow to age in a cool, dark place 2 to 3 months. Shake monthly.
• After initial aging, strain and filter. Stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Cap and age 3 months more before serving.
• Note: Seville oranges produce the authentic taste but any type of orange peel/zest may be used with good results.

BLOOD ORANGES WITH GRAND MARNIER SABAYON

Steps:

• Finely grate enough zest from 1 orange to measure 1/2 teaspoon. With a sharp knife cut peel from oranges, including all white pith, and cut sections free from membranes. Squeeze enough juice from membranes to measure 2 tablespoons. Divide sections among 4 stemmed glasses.
• Have ready an instant-read thermometer in a measuring cup of hot water. In a metal bowl whisk together zest, yolks, orange and lemon juices, sugar, and liqueur until combined well. Set bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and cook mixture, whisking constantly, until tripled in volume and thermometer registers 140°F., 3 to 5 minutes. Cook sabayon, whisking, 3 minutes more, or until thickened enough so that strokes leave a clear path.
• Spoon sabayon over orange sections and garnish with pistachios.

GRAND MARNIER CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH ORANGES

Steps:

• Grate 2 teaspoons zest from the oranges and set aside.
• Using a sharp knife, cut away and discard the thick white pith from the oranges. Carefully cut between the membranes to release the orange sections. Set the orange sections in a colander to drain off the excess juice. (If you add the juice to the pan, it will be too watery.).
• In a medium, heavy-bottomed, nonreactive saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, water and the zest. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often to help dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce is thick and the cranberries have burst, 10 to 15 minutes.
• During the last few minutes, stir in the orange sections.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the Grand Marnier.
• Cool completely.
• The cranberry sauce can be prepared up to 1 week ahead, covered and refrigerated. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
