Cranberry Sauce

It’s a holiday staple. Some like the can, ridges and all. I’ve never been a big fan until this year when I decided to try making it myself. It was delicious!

Homemade Cranberry Sauce

1 cup Sugar
1 cup water
1 12oz package of fresh cranberries, rinsed and drained
1/3 can orange juice concentrate

Combine water, and sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; add cranberries and return to a boil. Reduce heat and boil gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sauce should thicken and cranberries will pop open. For a soother sauce, take a potato masher and gently mash cranberries after boiling. Add orange juice concentrate, stirring until dissolved. Cover and cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate until serving time.

Makes 2-1/4 cups.

Happy holidays!
