How to Make Brown Sugar Cranberry Sauce

  1. Combine 12 ounces (340g) fresh or frozen cranberries and 1/2 cup (120ml) water in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup (200g) packed light or dark brown sugar until completely dissolved.
  5. Let the sauce cool completely before serving. The flavors will deepen as it cools.
