Mix the cranberries, water, and sugar in a pan.
Bake until the cranberries are tender.

What each ingredient does
- Cranberries
- Provide the fruit that softens and turns tender during baking.
- Sugar
- Adds sweetness and helps soften the cranberries while sweetening the syrup.
- Water
- Adds moisture so the sugar dissolves and the cranberries cook gently.
The step that matters
Bake until the cranberries are tender. Baking too briefly leaves the skins tough and the fruit firm, while overbaking can break the berries down into a mush. Check that the berries are soft and the syrup has thickened.
