Use a zester and zest the orange rinds, mince fine and add to a 6 quart sauce pan. Cut the oranges in half, squeeze orange juice into the sauce pan. Combine all remaining ingredients and over medium heat bring to a slow boil, stir often. Continue for 10 minutes or until the cranberries pop open. Remove from heat, and allow to cool.

Chef's Notes:
For many years I seldom recommended a specific brand or manufacture. BUT, I have come to the realization that all products are NOT created equal. The sushi grade Marukan Rice Vinegar "Sushi Su" is far superior to any I have found, even their own standard grade rice vinegar! Once you try this stuff you won't even bother with others! Trust me!!
