Step 1

Place water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally. Once sugar is dissolved, add cranberries and bring to a boil.

Step 2

Reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, until all or most of the cranberries have popped. Around minute 8, once they start popping, help them pop by pressing them against the side of the pan. See pictures above to check out the texture and what is should look like.

Step 3

Remove from heat and serve warm or allow to cool. Sauce will thicken as it cools.
