Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar, water, and the cinnamon stick.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 to 12 minutes uncovered.
Remove the cinnamon stick and discard. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate until chilled. Serve chilled or room temperature.

Notes

12oz cranberries is approximately 3 cups. Frozen cranberries do not need to be thawed.
Water produces a more traditional flavor, while orange juice makes it zestier.
The cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools.
This is a whole berry sauce, for a smooth texture, place the warm sauce into a mesh strainer and strain it into a bowl pressing the cranberries to remove as much juice as possible.
Make this sauce weeks (or months) ahead of time and freeze. Thaw overnight and serve for the big day.
