Mom's Fresh Cranberry Sauce

1 package (2 cups) cranberries
2 cups sugar
1 orange rind grated (or 1/4 cup OJ concentrate)

Place all ingredients in a power mixer (kitchen aid, etc.) and mix on low speed for 15 minutes. Let stand 30 minutes, and then mix on low for another 10 minutes. (Keeps up to a year in the fridge.

FYI: I guess our store sells larger bags of cranberries, but when I made this I did 2 cups, which was only half a bag of cranberries. The sauce was so sugary that you could still feel the granules (they didn't completely dissolve.) I would suggest using more cranberries, or less sugar. We also found that heating the sauce in the microwave helped to dissolve the sugar.
