Thanksgiving Recipes: Crandberry Sauce

This is one of the easiest recipes you'll ever find. It's simple, straight forward and delicious. This recipe puts the canned stuff to shame. This is my adaptation of the recipe for Cranberry Sauce as found in The Fannie Farmer Cookbook.

Homemade Cranberry Sauce

• 12 oz fresh cranberries
• 1 cup water
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves (more or less to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (more or less to taste)
  

Wash the cranberries. In a pot, bring the water to boil and add the cranberries, cinnamon, and ground cloves. Boil for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep from burning. Mash the cranberry mixture with a potato masher. Cook over low heat for an additional 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the sugar and salt and cook for 2 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved. Pour into a serving container and refrigerate until solid. (Usually overnight)
