1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup water
2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur (preferably Grand Marnier), or thawed orange juice concentrate.

Grate 2 teaspoons of peel (orange part only) from the oranges and set aside. Using a sharp knife, cut off and discard the thick white pith. Carefully cut between the membranes to release the orange sections. Set the orange sections aside.

In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, the water and grated peel. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often to help dissolve the sugar. 

Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce is thick and the cranberries have burst, 10 to 15 minutes. During the last few minutes, stir in the orange sections. Remove from the heat and stir in the Grand Marnier. Cool completely.

(The cranberry sauce can be prepared up to 1 week ahead, covered and refrigerated.) Serve chilled or at room temperature.
