Ingredients

  • 2 cups cranberries fresh or frozen
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup brown sugar more to taste
  • ½ cup cherries optional, fresh or frozen
  • pinch cinnamon optional

Instructions

  • In a pan, bring the water to a boil and pour in the sugar. Give it a stir to dissolve the sugar.
  • Add the cranberries and cherries to the pan, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a light simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens. Add a touch of water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
  • Sprinkle on the cinnamon, if using, and stir to combine. Set aside to cool, and then enjoy with your meal!

Notes

  • Stir very frequently so the cranberries burst and become a thick sauce.
  • Add a touch of water if you wish to thin the sauce.
  • The cinnamon is optional, so include only if you are able to tolerate.
