Easy Cranberry Sauce
Servings: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 12 oz. fresh or frozen cranberries 1 package
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Rinse the cranberries and pick out any that are damaged.
- In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring the water and sugar to a boil. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the cranberries and pinch of salt. Allow the mixture to come back to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. (The berries will soften and burst.)
- Remove the pot from the heat and allow the cranberry sauce to cool to room temperature. (If you want a smooth cranberry sauce, use an immersion blender to puree it after it has cooled.)
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. (The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.) It can be made up to two weeks ahead of time.
