Fresh Cranberry Sauce
This recipe is made using fresh cranberries, and you'll love it so much more than that canned stuff!
Fresh Cranberry Sauce
Use 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of water (or try cranberry juice to make the flavor richer), and 1 bag of fresh cranberries.
Put the water (or cranberry juice) and sugar in a pot, and cook until the sugar is totally dissolved and the mixture begins to boil.

Fresh Cranberry Sauce
Add the cranberries to the sugar mixture. Stir them around a bit.
You'll hear the cranberries skin begin to pop (stand back as they can squirt at you!). Once all or most of the cranberries have popped, you could stop cooking. However, I choose to keep cooking, to make more of a jellied cranberry sauce.

Fresh Cranberry Sauce
Add seasoning/spices according to your liking. The most basic of seasonings to add are cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and other similar fall spices. Why not try something with a little heat, like Old Bay? Maybe a little orange or lemon zest? Try different things!
Fresh Cranberry Sauce
Simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick enough to coat your spoon. The sauce will get thicker as it stands.
Use this as a side, as a dessert, or as a garnish! Try it with your fall favorites, like Turkey, sweet potato, etc. Or try it with fresher flavors like fruit!
