Ingredients
12 oz fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
¾ cup water
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine fresh cranberries, sugar, and water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cranberries are soft and the sauce thickens.
- Remove from heat and press the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or food mill to remove skins and create a smooth, jellied consistency.
- Pour the jellied cranberry sauce into a container and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature alongside roasted meats, sandwiches, or as a condiment.
Notes
Add a splash of orange juice or zest for a citrusy note.
Stir in a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger for subtle warmth.
Use honey or maple syrup in place of sugar for a natural sweetener.
Blend in a handful of raspberries or cherries for a mixed berry variation.
