HOMEMADE CRANBERRY SAUCE (foodnetwork.com)

INGREDIENTS:
12 oz. bag fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
1 strip zest from and Orange or Lemon (I used Lemon)
2 tbsp. water or juice  (I juiced a few cuties!)
salt & pepper (yes, pepper!!) to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:
Empty bag of cranberries into a saucepan.  (If you like whole berries in your sauce, remove about 1/2 a cup of berries to add back at the end.)

Add sugar, zest and liquid to the pan and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the cranberries are soft, about 10 minutes.

Increase the heat to medium and cook until the cranberries burst, then reduce the heat to low and stir in the reserved berries and cook only for a few minutes.

Add salt and pepper.  Taste and then add additional sugar, if necessary (I added an additional tbsp.)

Cool to room temperature.  Serve.  

Store in refrigerator.

Enjoy!!
