Easy Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry Sauce is so simple and fast to make that its become a part of my yearly, traditional "makings".  This year, I've tripled the recipe in hopes to also make a Cranberry topped baked brie!

Here is a simple and delicious traditional Cranberry Sauce:

3 cups of fresh, or frozen cranberries. Thats usually one bag.
1 cup sugar.
1 cup water.  
zest of a small orange (optional)



enjoy~

Rinse Fresh Cranberries 

Boil sugar and water in a med sauce pot to dissolve the sugar.

Add cranberries.

 After a few minutes there skins will start to pop. Stir in orange zest, if using .

Continue to boil another minute more

                                     Remove from heat. Your sauce will thicken more as it cools.

Vanilla Grand Mariner, is optional too!
