Easy Homemade Cranberry Sauce
Source: Ocean Spray®
1 12 oz (340 g) bag Ocean Spray® Fresh Cranberries
1 cup (250 mL) sugar
1 cup (250 mL) water
Pour the bag of cranberries into a colander. Rinse well with cold water, then sort out any stems or soft berries. (Frozen cranberries can be used as well; you don’t need to thaw them before using.)
Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then carefully stir in cranberries. Return the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour the cranberry mixture into a heat-proof bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand until cooled completely, 2-3 hours. The mixture will thicken as it cools. Store sauce in refrigerator until ready to serve.
Makes 2 1/4 cups (560 mL) of sauce, which will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week.
