Recipe for "cranb-sauce-1"

NAME

     CRANB-SAUCE-1 - Homemade cranberry sauce
     Most people don't realize how easy it is to  make  cranberry
     sauce.   It  tastes  much  better  fresh  than  canned (what
     doesn't?).

INGREDIENTS (Makes a lot)

     500 g     cranberries
               water
     200 g     sugar

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Rinse the cranberries and put them  into  a  heavy
               pot.   Add  just enough water to cover them.  Stir
               in the sugar.
          (2)  Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently,  until
               most  of  the  cranberries  have split open.  This
               will take about 15 minutes. Stir well, then  taste
               it,  and  add  more sugar if it's not sweet enough
               for you. If you add more sugar, cook it  a  little
               longer,  still stirring, to make sure that the new
               sugar is completely dissolved.
          (3)  Chill overnight.
          (4)  Eat.

NOTES

     This keeps covered in the  refrigerator  for  quite  a  long
     time.

RATING

     Difficulty: Easy Time:  20  minutes  preparation,  overnight
     chilling.  Precision: No need to measure.
