Ingredients
4
cups
cranberries
washed
1
cup
granulated white sugar
1
cup
water
1/4
tsp
ground cloves
1/2
tsp
cinnamon
1/8
tsp
lemon juice
2
Tbsp.
cornstarch
as needed
Instructions
Wash cranberries, picking out any that aren't good.
Mix all ingredients (except cornstarch) in a medium pot.
Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Cranberries will split and soften as they simmer.
Remove berries and strain out sauce. Simmer the juice until thickened, adding cornstarch as needed. Once thickened, pour over berries.
Notes
In the name of honesty...I never actually strain the berries and sauce. I simply thicken the entire mixture.
