A family recipe we have used for years. We love it as a side dish to our turkey on Thanksgiving day. Also goes well on chicken, pork, and beef. Makes a great treat as an appetizer served with crackers, or can even be used over vanilla ice cream. I like to add the orange zest a couple tablespoons at a time, as not to overdo it. Adjust sweetness by adding 1 tablespoon sugar at a time at the end of cooking if needed.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups white sugar , or more to taste
- 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 package cranberries , 12 ounce
- 1 jigger tequila , 1.5 fluid ounce
- 1.5 oranges , zested
Instructions

Heat a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir sugar, orange juice, half the cranberries, and tequila in the warmed saucepan until mixture is slightly reduced, about 20 minutes. Add the remaining cranberries and orange zest; cook and stir until cranberries begin to pop, 10 to 15 minutes.

Western-Style Baked Beans
My husband does not like baked beans but can't get enough of this Western-style dish. They are loaded with a variety of meats and get a little bit of sweetness from molasses and brown sugar. If you don't have a slow cooker, you can bake them in the oven until heated through.
