Homemade Cranberry Sauce
1 lb. cranberries
water
1 c. sugar
Rinse the cranberries and put them into a heavy pot. Add just enough water to cover them. Stir in the sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until most of the cranberries have split open. This will take about 15 minutes. Stir well, then taste it, and add more sugar if it's not sweet enough for you. If you add more sugar, cook it a little longer, still stirring, to make sure that the new sugar is completely dissolved. Chill overnight.
