It wouldn't be the holidays without cranberry sauce. The following also uses maple syrup:

12 oz of fresh cranberries, washed.
1 cup of maple syrup.
1 cup of cranberry juice.
1 cup of walnut halves.
Grated zest of one medium orange.
Mix together the berries, maple syrup, juice and orange zest in a suitably sized saucepan.

Bring to a boil, lower heat to medium, then cook for about 10 minutes.

Remove any foam that forms on the surface.

Stir in the walnut halves.

Cool and refrigerate until serving time.
