What each ingredient does
- Cranberries
- Provide the tart fruit body and pectin that thicken the sauce as it cooks.
- Sugar
- Sweetens the sauce and balances the cranberries' sharp acidity.
The step that matters
Boil the mixture for about 30 to 45 minutes. Cranberries thicken as their pectin is released and set during cooking. Boiling too briefly leaves the sauce thin, while overcooking can make it stiff as it cools.
