Instructions

Place the water and sugar in a medium pot over medium high heat. Bring to a boil.
For a traditional cranberry sauce: Add the cranberries to the pot and boil for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 10 minutes or until cranberries have burst.
For a whole berry cranberry sauce: Add 3/4 of the the cranberries to the pot and boil for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 10 minutes or until cranberries have burst. Add the remaining 1/4 of the cranberries to the pot.
Add the salt, cinnamon and vanilla extract to the sauce, then cook for 1 minute.
Let the sauce sit at room temperature until cool. Transfer to a storage container and place in the fridge until ready to use.

Notes

Fresh or frozen cranberries will both work in this dish. I prefer the flavor and texture of fresh cranberries.
Be sure to rinse your berries thoroughly, and pick through them to discard any soft or discolored fruit before using.
