Cranberry Sauce

1 cup Granulated Sugar
1 cup Water
16oz Fresh Cranberries
1 medium Granny Smith Apple, peeled, cored and chopped
1 cup chopped Walnuts
1/2 cup Golden Raisins
1/4 cup Grand Marnier (I substituted 1/4 cup Orange Juice and 1 teaspoon orange extract)
Juice from 1/2 Orange
Juice from 1/2 Lemon
2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (I used ground)

Combine sugar and water in large saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the cranberries and return to a boil (the cranberries will pop and soften.) Lower the heat and let the liquid simmer for a few minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients and simmer for @ 15 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and let sauce cool. Spoon into individual mason jars and refrigerate.

Serve as a side dish to Turkey, Chicken or Fish.

I make up baskets of goodies (cookies, breads) at Christmas time and sometimes add a little jar of the cranberry sauce to the basket.
