Simple Cranberry Sauce

This recipe is so easy and delicious that you’ll never need to open another can of cranberry sauce again!

Ingredients

1

Rinse cranberries with cool water, and remove any stems or blemished berries.
2

Heat water and sugar to boiling in 2-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. Pour sauce into bowl or container. Refrigerate about 3 hours or until chilled.

Tip: Be sure to cook the cranberries until they “pop” in order to release the natural pectin, which thickens the sauce.
Tip: Want more flavour? Stir in 1 tablespoon (15 mL) grated orange peel after cooking.
