Fresh Cranberry Sauce

I love cranberries! But just like pecans, you have to sort them before you use them. Throw out any soft berries; each berry should be firm. Plus, a good cranberry bounces!

So to help remind you that you should only keep cranberries that bounce, check out “Billie’s Bounce” sung by Ella Fitzgerald.

 

Fresh Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients

  • 3-4 cups fresh cranberries, sorted
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup water

Instructions

  1. Sort cranberries. Put cranberries in a strainer. Rinse with water. Put all the firm cranberries in a large multi-cup measuring container.
  2. Reserve one cup of cranberries aside. Put remaining cranberries in a large saucepan. Add sugar and water.
  3. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes.
  4. After all cranberries have popped, add cranberries that were set aside. Simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and uncover.
  5. Let stand for 20 minutes.
  6. It will be very thick after being refrigerated.
