Creamy, Rich, And Decadent Cranberry Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb fresh cranberries, rinsed and drained
5 cups water

In a 4-quart saucepan, combine the cranberries, water and sugar.
Bring to a boil over high heat, and continue boiling until thickened, about 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Toward the end of the cooking time, use a potato masher to mash all of the berries.
Reduce the heat to low and add the butter and salt; simmer until butter melts, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
Cool to room temperature.
Just before serving, fold in the sour cream and mix well.
