My 'secret' ingredient is to add a 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom to my cranberry sauce. I get many compliments on it. There always used to be the jellied stuff from a can but that quietly disappeared a few years ago.

The rest is pretty standard:

1 bag fresh cranberries
1 C sugar
1C water
Zest of one orange
... and the cardamom
I'll throw in an oz of triple sec if I have it handy ... before cooking so the alcohol gets cooked off.

I have no objection to using mandarin oranges though I think using zest gives it a brighter flavor.
