Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a saucepan
  • Bring contents to a boil over medium heat.  Reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for 10 minutes or until the cranberries start to pop.
  • As the cranberries start to pop, use a whisk or fork to gently mash the cranberries and stir. This will help thicken the sauce and the starches release.
  • Continue to cook for another 5 minutes until thickened. Transfer to a bowl or jar and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Storage: To store this, let it cool completely before covering it in an air-tight container. Then cover and store in the fridge for up to 7 days. This sauce is great for making a day in advance for any gatherings!
To make it kid-friendly: Leave out the fireball and replace with 2 oz (18th of a cup) of water and 2 tsps of cinnamon.
