“Better Than the Can” Christmas Ale Cranberry Sauce

12 Oz Cranberries
Zest From 1 Orange
1/4 Cup Great Lakes Christmas Ale
3/4 Cup Sugar
1 tsp Cinnamon (optional)

Combine all ingredients over medium heat. Mix.
Bring to a gentle boil for 1 minute, then simmer for 5-10 minutes, depending on the consistency you prefer. Simmer longer for thicker sauce.
Allow to cool in fridge before serving.
Garnish with an orange slice and enjoy!

Try using it as a base for a cinnamon sugar rim on your Christmas Ale.
