I grew up eating Cranberry sauce from a can, but then I made this, and I never went back!

Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • One 12 ounce bag of fresh or Frozen Cranberries
  • 1 Cup of Sugar or sweetener equal to 1 Cup
  • 1 Cup of Water
  • 1 strip orange or lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Put cranberries in a pot on the stove, and pick through to remove soft and/or brown ones.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients, stir, and bring to a boil on medium-high heat.
  3. Stir frequently. The cranberries will pop, and then release their "gel" -- and the sauce will come together like magic.
  4. Cook until the sauce is the consistency you want, about 5 to 10 minutes.
