Orange Cranberry Sauce

From Artistic-Array.org. I really want to give this a try for Thanksgiving this year.
1 lb. granulated sugar (2¼ C)
4 fl. oz. orange juice
8 fl. oz. water
1 lb. 8 oz. fresh/frozen cranberries
1 cinnamon stick
2 fl. oz. orange liqueur
2 T orange zest, finely grated
20 orange segments
1.) Combine sugar, juice, and water in a nonreactive saucepan (stainless steel); bring to a boil.

2.) Add the cranberries and cinnamon stick and simmer uncovered until the berries begin to burst, approx. 15 minutes. Skim off the foam.

3.) Add the orange liqueur and zest and simmer for another 5 minutes.

4.) Remove from the heat and remove the cinnamon stick. Add the orange segments. Cool and refrigerate.
