Steps:

• Rinse the cranberries before use. Sort cranberries and discard anything that looks odd.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberries, water, orange zest, orange juice, both sugars, and cinnamon sticks.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Be careful! Watch the cranberries closely. They can bubble up and could possibly boil over if you are not watching them.
• Simmer the cranberry mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in the brandy and continue to simmer until cranberries begin to burst and the sauce reduces slightly; about 5 more minutes.
• Turn off the heat. Remove the cinnamon sticks from the cranberry sauce.
• Stir in the vanilla extract and pour the sauce into a serving dish or storage container. Allow the sauce to cool and thicken up; 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add orange juice, sugars and spices and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat so that the mixture simmers for a couple minutes.
• Bring heat back up to medium-high and add cranberries. Boil the cranberries until they pop and the mixture thickens to a gel-like, jammy consistency. If the mixture starts to boil too much, turn the heat down to medium. Stir occasionally.
• Remove from heat and stir in brandy, lemon juice and orange zest. You can serve it warm or cold. Enjoy!
