Cranberry Sauce

When I found out how simple it is to make cranberry sauce, there seemed never again to be a reason to purchase it in a can. By preparing the sauce yourself, you can sweeten the sauce to your preference, which, in our home is very lightly.

Ingredients
12		dry oz.		Cranberries
1/2		cup		White Sugar

Directions
1		Wash the cranberries.
2		Put them in a medium size sauce pan.
3		Add sugar.
4		Cook over medium heat. As you stir it, the berries and sugar will begin to combine into a sauce. Let the sauce bubble softly, just until the berries begin to burst and the sauce is thickened slightly (just a little less than you like because it will thicken more as it cools).
5		Let the sauce cool some if you are transferring it immediately to a serving dish, or just store the sauce in some kind of left-over container in the refrigerator. It is best served at room temperature.
