Ingredients
Scale
- 10oz fresh cranberries
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar*
Instructions

Notes
- *Sugar: you can actually add up to 1 cup of sugar, but it depends upon how sweet you want your cranberry sauce. I liked it with 1/2 cup sugar (it was a little sweet, but still tart), but you can always add more even after it is fully cooked – so taste and adjust according to your personal preferences.
- Make Ahead: this is a great recipe to make ahead of Thanksgiving or any holiday dinner.
- Storage: store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Variations: we have a couple variations of this on the site: Bourbon Cranberry Sauce, Apple Cranberry Sauce or Cranberry Orange Sauce!
