Classic Cranberry Sauce

Tart and sweet, just like cranberry sauce should be. I think if people knew how easy this recipe is, they wouldn't even think about opening a cannned version ever again!

Cranberry sauce is a perfect side dish for dinner parties because it can be made the day ahead and served cold or at room temperature.
