Easy Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients:
  • 12 oz bag of whole cranberries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water or orange juice
  • up to 1/2 tsp grated orange peel (optional)

Instructions:
  • Wash off the cranberries and pick through them to discard any bad ones.  Add all ingredients into a medium saucepan.  Bring to a boil; turn down heat and simmer, covered, until sauce is thick and cranberries have popped.  The berries will pop, then collapse and get cooked down and incorporated into the sauce.
  • Cook until desired consistency, adding more water as needed - the longer it cooks, the less chunky the sauce will become as all the berries get incorporated.
  • Serve at room temperature.  Store in airtight container in the refrigerator.
