12ouncesfresh or frozen cranberries
1cupwater
1cupsugar
¼teaspoonkosher salt
1-2tablespoonsfresh lemon juiceabout 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.
