What each ingredient does
- Cranberries
- Provide the tart flavor and natural pectin that gives the sauce its body.
- Granulated sugar
- Adds sweetness, balances the tartness, and dissolves into the juices to form a syrup.
The step that matters
Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Undissolved sugar leaves a grainy texture. Stirring until the crystals fully dissolve into the cranberry juices gives a smooth, evenly sweetened sauce.
