Notes
Use fresh or frozen cranberries for this recipe. If using frozen, no need to thaw before cooking.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar to taste.
The sauce will thicken as it cools, so remove it from the heat when it’s slightly looser than your desired texture.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days or freeze for up to three months.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Use the leftovers for sandwiches, as a glaze for Mediterranean Chicken, or as a side to fish like the Roast Salmon.
