Kathy's Drunken Cranberry Compote

• 4 (12 ounce) bags fresh cranberries
• 4 cups sugar, more if needed
• 23 cup brandy or 23 cup Grand Marnier

1. Tin foil line a large cookie sheet and spread cranberries out.
2. COVER with sugar, it may take a bit more than the 4 cups, I make sure that the berries are almost white because they are very sour usually.
3. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350* until the berries have 'popped' and are quite mushy.
4. Pour into a large bowl and add the liquor.
5. Stir, bottle and cool.
6. Refrigerate once they are cool.
7. The berries will 'set' up and the result is wonderful.
8. I usually taste the cooked berries before adding the liquor to be sure they are sweet enough, add additional sugar if necessary.
9. Be sure to use a good brandy, I like the E&J brand, remember to use 'real' liquor, not the low proof that you buy in the grocery store.
