How To Make cranberry-orange-bourbon turkey basting sauce

• 1

  In a small pot put the cranberry sauce.
• 
  2

  With a potato peeler, peel the strips from one orange and put them in the pot with the cranberry sauce, then cut the oranges in ½ and juice them into the pot.
• 
  3

  Add Turbinado sugar, chipotle, adobo, butter and the bourbon to the cranberry mixture, then mix and turn on the heat.
• 4

  You don’t want to turn on the heat under the pot until you add the bourbon because things could go BAM and start a fire. Just the smallest amount of alcohol could ignite.
• 5

  Cook this for about 30 minutes until it all the flavors have gotten all groovy, on a real low heat, whisk often. Let this mixture cool a bit, after it has cooled strain the turkey basting sauce and throw out the peels and chipotle.

  At this point you can either smoke your bird { like I’m going to do } or put it in the oven, and bake it as you usually would do.

  I am brushing it on the bird every 30 to 45 minutes or so until the entire cranberry basting sauce is gone.
