Dan McCready’s Cranberry Sauce [RECIPE]
Getting ready for the holidays is already a frantic time, so why make things difficult in the kitchen? At least some some of your side dishes should be easy to make! That's why I love this yummy Cranberry Sauce that seems to go perfectly with every holiday meal.
PREP TIME: 5 minutes
COOK TIME: 15 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 4 cups (1 12-oz package) fresh or frozen cranberries
DIRECTIONS
- Rinse cranberries in a colander, picking out any damaged or bruised berries. Mix water and sugar in a medium saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Stir until sugar dissolves.
- Add cranberries to pot and return to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until most of the cranberries have burst.
- Remove the pot from heat and allow cranberry sauce to cool completely. Transfer to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
