Ingredients
12 oz (3 cups) fresh or frozen cranberries
¾ cup sugar (or adjust to taste)
1 cup water
Optional twists:
Add zest of 1 orange or 1 tbsp orange juice for brightness
Stir in ¼ tsp cinnamon or a pinch of cloves for warmth
Swap sugar for maple syrup or honey for natural sweetness
Instructions
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cranberries, sugar, and water.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most berries have burst.
Remove from heat. For a smoother sauce, mash lightly. Let cool—sauce thickens as it cools.
