Ingredients
- 3 cups cranberries (fresh or frozen), about 12 ounce bag
- 1 cup water
- ¾ cup sugar
Instructions
- Add 3 cups of cranberries, 1 cup of water, and ¾ cup of sugar to a medium saucepan. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cranberries will pop and the sauce will thicken. You can mash them with the back of a spatula, spoon, or potato masher while they cook.
- Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature before serving. The cranberry sauce will thicken more as it cools. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
