Smooth Cranberry Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
1 cup water

Preparation

Rinse berries in cold water. Sort through and pick out any that are split, shriveled, or not ripe -- meaning they're much lighter in color than the rest.
Mix the sugar and water in a pan and stir, then put on high heat until it comes to a boil. Add the berries and stir, then bring back to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the berries start to pop.
Pour the cooked berries into a colander. Press everything through with a large spoon or the bottom of a glass. (Alternatively, process through a food mill.) Stir gently, and refrigerate until set.
