Ingredients

• ✓ water

• cranberry

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients.

3. 3 Stir cranberries into the saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until cranberries have popped and sauce is chunky, about 10 minutes or longer for desired consistency. The longer you cook it, the less chunky it will be.
