Nancy's Cranberry Festival

This is my daughter's really good version of my mom's old holiday cranberry sauce recipe.  She's an artistic, creative cook and improvises even more than I do.  Sooo, here it is. . .Good luck!  :o)

1-1/2c  sugar
1c  orange juice
1c  water
mace      3 shakes
nutmeg  3 shakes
ginger    2 shakes
vanilla    2 second swirl
bitters     2 baby  shakes
1 orange - zest and half the orange
4c  cranberries

"Bring the first 3 ingredients, spices, vanilla, bitters and orange zest to a boil.  Add cranberries, peel the orange, cut 1/2 into really small pieces and eat the other half - or save it for your lunch tomorrow.

Bring back to a boil then simmer until it starts to thicken.  The longer you boil it, the thicker it gets.  Pour into a pretty bowl, cover and chill it on the cold, cement garage floor.  It's best served with meat". . .My Daughter Nancy (a.k.a. Dandelion Pudding)
