Cranberry Sauce for Thanksgiving

By fsilver4

This is real cranberry sauce. I make this every year for Thanksgiving dinner. It's my mother's favorite.
It is real important to disolve the sugar first before adding the berries, because if you don't the sugar will crystalize while cooking and create a gritty texture.

Ingredients

• 3 cups whole cranberries
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup cranberry juice

Preparation

Step 1

Combine sugar, cranberry juice and water in a medium saucepan. Stir to dissolve sugar. Bring to a boil. Add cranberries. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and boil gently 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat. Let cool before serving.
