Cranberry Sauce

I never really liked cranberry sauce. Maybe it’s the way
that it slides out of the can like dogfood, still in the shape of the can. But,
after making my own, I can’t get enough! Here’s the recipe – it’s so
simple!

12 ounces cranberries

1 cup sugar

1 cup orange juice

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, dissolve the sugar in the orange juice. Stir in the cranberries and cook until the cranberries start to pop (about 10 minutes). Remove from hear and place sauce in a bowl. Cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools.
