                Sea Gypsy, thank you so much!  I really appreciate it.  I want to make this for Christmas.

                1 pkg. cranberries (12 oz.)
¾ cup to 1 cup white sugar
¼ cup raw sugar or brown sugar
½ - 1 tsp. maple syrup
pinch of Saigon Cinnamon or any type
zest of one orange
¼ cup orange juice (I don’t use the juice of the orange I used for the zest)
¾ to 1 cup water - you may need more later
About ¼ cup brandy
  Mix in a saucepan the liquids and sugars, including the maple syrup and Saigon Cinnamon. When it is dissolved and comes to a boil turn off the heat and add the brandy. Boil the alcohol from the brandy. Add the cranberries. Cook them until they are all popped and softened, which is much longer than the standard recipes calls for. You may need to adjust the flavors by adding more water (I usually do that) or more OJ or sweeteners to get the flavors you like.

                Sea Gypsy, thank you so much for sharing your recipe.  It's freezing here this morning.  I did make my soup.  It's so good on a cold day.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

                 Sherri, I hope you get your new storm door installed.  It's freezing here this morning.

                Ciel, that is the same reason I love the first snowfall.  It is beautiful!

                Oh, that sounds so cold to me! When I lived in the very cold weather, which I did, I never remember of feeling cold because I had the correct clothing for it. Did you make your soup? I will give you the recipe as close as I can for the brandied cranberry sauce later on today. It is late now. Have a great day.

                Graysome pussycat refuses to go outside now it is cold. It was down to 17F over night and is 29F now so I am not going outside either.

                I have heard that sweet potatoes are good for dogs. It is freezing here too. I hope that our  28-degree weather tomorrow doesn't stop my brother-in-law from installing our new storm door. Enjoy your day.

                One thing about Cleveland is that in every month of every season, you can count on rain sooner or later. I liked the snow that made the city look so bright and clean!

                FSI, they kept talking about the 29-12 score.  I had no idea what it meant?

                Pat, we've definitely got a winter storm coming our way!  I hope the Browns do better next week.  Have a good day and stay warm!

                That was a tough loss for your Browns. It’s gonna be an interesting final few weeks in the AFC North. One interesting fact. The game was the first whenever they have a score of 29-12.

                Cold here, too, but I think Cleveland's going to get a real dose of winter today, which seems to add insult to injury now that the Browns went down to defeat... Stay cozy.
