Whole-Berry Cranberry Sauce

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Freezing is ideal for longer storage.

Adjust the sugar to your preferred sweetness level; cranberries are naturally very tart.

Add a splash of orange juice or zest for a brighter flavor profile.

Simmer gently to allow the berries to soften without completely breaking down.

For a thicker sauce, simmer uncovered for the last few minutes of cooking.
