Amaretto Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients :

• 1 cup  water
• 2 cups  sugar
• 1 12 oz  bags fresh cranberries
• 1/3 cup orange marmalade (Smuckers works best)
• juice from 2 lemons
• 1/3 cup  Amaretto
• 1/3 cup  toasted slivered almonds

Directions :

Mix water and sugar in saucepan and heat to boiling.  Add cranberries and cook for about 5 minutes.  Remove from heat.  Add marmalade and lemon juice.  Cool completely and add amaretto and almonds.

Pour into glass jars and chill.  Keeps in refrigerator for months.

Note from DeDe: Wonderful with turkey and stuffing, but also fantastic as sauce over ice cream or pound cake, cheesecake, pudding, etc.  This is a thin sauce and does not gel.  I suppose you could add gelatin if you wanted a more solid presentation for a turkey side.
