Tips:
- Choose the right cranberries: Fresh, plump cranberries are best for making sauce. Avoid cranberries that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to prevent the sauce from scorching.
- Cook the sauce over medium heat: This will help to prevent the cranberries from bursting and becoming mushy.
- Stir the sauce frequently: This will help to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.
- Add sugar to taste: The amount of sugar you add will depend on how tart you like your sauce. If making the sauce ahead of time, add half the suger, cool, and taste. Add more sugar if needed.
- Let the sauce cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop.
