How to Make Cranberry Syrup

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer gently for 30-40 minutes, or until the syrup has reduced to approximately 2 1/2 cups and has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. For a smoother syrup without cranberry pieces, carefully pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing gently on the solids to extract as much syrup as possible. Discard the solids.
  4. Once cooled, store the cranberry syrup in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
