Homemade Cranberry Sauce
This tangy, sweet homemade cranberry sauce trumps anything you can buy at the store.
Servings: 12 servings (about 3 cups worth)
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice about half a lemon's worth
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
- When the cranberries start to pop, the sauce is done. Cool completely and then place in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- For a smooth sauce, place a mesh strainer over a large bowl and press the hot cooked sauce through it. Use the back of a wooden spoon or a large spatula to do this. Scrape the underside of the strainer as you do this, there will be a lot of sauce there too.
