Cranberry Sauce

Cranberries, sugar, & water - that's it!

Did you make homemade cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving?  This is how my mom always made it and it couldn't be easier!  Cranberry sauce is a wonderful condiment to serve with poultry, pork, and meatballs - I love the sweet & tart taste.

Cranberry Sauce

1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 12-ounce bag of fresh cranberies

Rinse the cranberries under cold water.  Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir to make sure all the sugar is dissolved.  Add the cranberries and return to a boil.  Reduce heat to a low boil/simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Remove from heat and cool to room temperature before refrigerating.  The sauce will thicken as it cools.
