How to Make Grandma's Cranberry Sauce
- Peel and chop 3 medium apples (approximately 1.5 lbs).
- Combine chopped apples, 12 ounces of fresh cranberries, and 1 cup of water in a large saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the cranberry skins begin to burst open (about 15-20 minutes).
- Carefully pour the cranberry mixture into a fine-mesh sieve set over a large bowl. Press the mixture to separate the skins from the sauce.
- Discard the skins. Return the cranberry sauce to the saucepan.
- Stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar (adjust to your preferred sweetness).
- Bring the sauce back to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to thicken.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before transferring to a serving bowl.
- Once cooled, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
