  • 12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water or orange juice

Instructions
  1. Combine cranberries, sugar, and water (or orange juice) in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer.
  3. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cranberries burst and sauce thickens.
