• I typically make the cranberry sauce at least a day ahead for less prep on Christmas Morning
• Combine the orange juice, water, and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Add in the cranberries and cinnamon and cook on med-low until the berries burst open and the sauce thickens.
• Let cool, then store in refrigerator until ready to use.

Monkey Bread

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray and combine sugar and cinnamon into a small bowl.
• Open the cinnamon rolls and cut into 1/4 pieces and then roll in the sugar mixture
• Layer the pieces into the bundt pan and then layer cranberry sauce over each layer and repeat until all cinnamon roll pieces are in the pan. (I use about 1/2 of the sauce and save the rest you can be more liberal if you love cranberry)
• Combine the butter (melted) with remaining sugar mixture and pour over the dough.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown
• Take a plate and put under the bundt pan and the bread should come out of the mold. Use the frosting that came with the dough to glaze the bread.
