Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry Sauce

I've always wanted to try homemade cranberry sauce.  They canned, jellied stuff is pretty gross to me.  However, this homemade version is a hit!  Everyone loved it and I will definitely be making it again!

Ingredients:
1 lb fresh cranberries, washed and dried
2 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup water
1 cinnamon stick (I used about 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon instead)
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 orange, zested and juiced

Directions:
In a medium pot, combine the cranberries, sugar, and water.  Stir to blend.  Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.  Reduce to a simmer and add the spices.  Stir to blend and simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes.  Add the orange juice and zest, stir and allow to cool before serving.
