What each ingredient does

Evaporated cranberries
Absorb the water as they soften, becoming plump and moist again.

The step that matters

Boil for 15 minutes. Prolonged boiling softens the cranberry skins and flesh further, so the fruit can break down into a mush if boiled too long. Watching the fruit keeps it plump and whole.
