Cranberry Sauces

Cranberry Sauce

Each recipe makes 2-3 half-pints, depending on how long you let the cranberries break down for. If you want to preserve these, process for 15 minutes in a boiling-water canner.

Basic Cranberry Sauce

1 (12-oz) bag fresh cranberries
1/2 to 1 cup sugar
3/4 cup water

Bring water and 1/2 cup sugar to boil. Add cranberries and cook over medium heat until berries have broken down to your desired level (15-20 mins). Stir occasionally and, if desired, mash with a potato masher to break berries down further. Add additional sugar to taste.
