Cranberry Sauce

Instructions:

1. Combine 12 oz fresh cranberries, 1 cup of sugar, 1 strip of orange or lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of water in a pan. 
2. Cook over low heat and stir until the sugar dissolves and the berries are soft, approx. 10 minutes.

For dessert toppings, try adding 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon!

For a "saucier" sauce, add a shot of rum after cooking.  Mix well and cook for an additional minute or two until sauce is the desired consistency.
