Chipotle-Orange Cranberry Sauce

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. + chilling YIELD: 1-3/4 cups.
My family prefers traditional dishes on Christmas, but I like to add in a few of my own unique creations. With brown sugar, cinnamon and chipotle powder for a little kick, this cranberry sauce will earn a permanent spot in your holiday lineup. —Chris Michalowski, Dallas, Texas
