Too much orange flavor in cranberry sauce

15 years ago

So, I am new to cooking and like to experiment but...I tried to make cranberry sauce for the first time. I used water, fresh cranberries and sugar. A lot of recipes called for orange juice and I don't have any. I do have mandarins, so I squeezed about 1/3 c of juice from them.

Heres the problem: Thinking this wasn't enough 'orange flavor' I put a piece of the peel in the sauce to give it more oomph. Now, it just tastes like bitter orange pith.

Any ideas? Thanks!
