Cranberry Sauce

I made this cranberry sauce and thought it was wonderful and subsequently made my husband taste it. "What do you think?", asked Celeste. John answered, "The taste is on. I just don't like the consistency. Great. Now I have stuff in my teeth. My mom buys it in a can and that's what I like." "I could puree it.", Celeste suggested. "No.", John replied, "I'm not a huge fan of cranberry sauce to begin with, so don't go to the trouble." So, what did I do? I pureed it of course... and it was better than before! I liked it with chunks but LOVED it without them! See, my husband makes me a better cook for us! :) The moral of the story? Food is relative.

Ingredients:

• 12 oz fresh cranberries
• 1 c white sugar
  
• 1/2 c orange juice
  

Directions:

• Over medium heat, dissolve sugar and orange juice in a sauce pan.
  
• Stir in the cranberries and cook until they start to pop, about 10 minutes.

• Remove the cranberries from the heat and place in a bowl. Cool for 10 minutes.
• Mash the cranberries if you like them lumpy.  If you prefer a smooth sauce, puree it in a food processor.

• Cover and refrigerate.
• Enjoy!
