For a spicier sauce, add a pinch of ground cinnamon or a few gratings of fresh nutmeg. A splash of orange liqueur or bourbon after cooking can add a sophisticated touch. The sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can press the cooked sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the cranberry skins after cooking.
