Cranberry Sauce with Black Pepper and Orange

If you want the easiest possible assignment for a holiday dinner, raise your hand to make the cranberry sauce. Lots of freshly ground black pepper and orange zest give our version classic pizzazz, but feel free to leave either (or both) out; it’ll still be really good. Use organic oranges if you can, since there’s so much zest involved.
