Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• 2 cups granulated sugar

Instructions

1. Rinse cranberries with cool water, and remove any stems or blemished berries.
2. Heat water and sugar to boiling in a 3 quart saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Continue boiling 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
3. Stir in cranberries. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Continue boiling about 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until cranberries begin to pop. Be sure to cook the cranberries until they "pop" in order to release the natural pectin, which thickens the sauce.
