Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Syrup:
    In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  • Add the Cranberries:
    Stir in the cranberries and return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until most of the cranberries burst.
  • Cool the Sauce:
    Remove from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature. It will thicken as it cools.
  • Serve or Store:
    Transfer to a serving dish or an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to one week.

Notes

  • For a chunkier sauce, remove from heat earlier before all the cranberries burst.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or orange zest for a festive twist.
