Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 12 oz cranberries 12 oz bag
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • Mix water and sugar together in a saucepan and bring to a slow boil.
  • Add the bag of cranberries. Be warned, after about a minute, it might sound like you are making popcorn. The cranberry skin starts to crack and it makes a popping sound.
  • Gently boil for about 10 minutes. It will start having a jam-like consistency.
  • Pour into a serving dish or bowl and cool in the refrigerator.

Notes

The cranberry sauce will set when it cools.  It will have more of the jelly-like consistency you are used to.
Storage
This stores well in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. When cooled place in a covered container.
I also freeze this in mason jars (or other sealed containers). It keeps well for up to 3 months. Sometimes it's a little more runny when thawed. If you want to thicken it up, simmer it for a few minutes.
