A holiday recipe that's too simple NOT to make!
Pour the water into a medium-size saucepan and heat the burner to medium-high heat. Gently stir the sugar into the water with a whisk while the water heats up.
While the water mixture is heating, rinse the fresh cranberries in a colander and cold water.
Once the water mixture comes to a boil, carefully pour in the cranberries! Stir, and reduce the temperature a little so that the water continues to simmer.
Let the cranberries simmer for about ten minutes, stirring occasionally with a whisk.
Once the cranberry sauce has thickened, remove from heat and pour into a glass serving bowl. Chill before serving!
