What each ingredient does
- Cranberries
- Provide the tart fruit flavor and pectin that helps the sauce thicken as it cools.
- Sugar
- Sweetens the sauce and balances the tartness of the cranberries.
- Water
- Creates steam and liquid so the cranberries soften and break down while simmering.
The step that matters
Simmer with the sugar for 10 minutes. Simmering long enough lets the cranberry skins burst and pectin release, so the sauce thickens properly. Stirring occasionally keeps the sugar from scorching on the bottom of the pan.
