I got the recipe from my brother.  It isn’t a Thanksgiving meal without this cranberry sauce on the table.  I could eat it with a spoon.  It is very simple to make, and I would recommend doubling the batch because it’ll go fast.

• 2 cups water
• 2 cups sugar
• 4 cups fresh cranberries
• 1 cup chopped dried apricots
• 1 orange, zested

Boil the water and sugar together for 5 minutes. Add the cranberries and apricots. Simmer until the cranberry skins burst, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the orange zest and cool.
