Easy Homemade Cranberry Sauce

This easy homemade cranberry sauce will be the perfect finishing touch to your Thanksgiving meal. So simple and delicious!

And with only three ingredients, you’ll be surprised how simple it is to make. My mom usually makes this a few days ahead of the Thanksgiving meal, and she keeps it in the refrigerator until it is time to serve it.

It is so delicious with her oven roasted turkey breast and southern cornbread dressing!

To make it, you start with a bag of fresh cranberries.

After giving them a good rinse, you make a simple syrup by bringing one cup of water and one cup of sugar to a boil. Add the cranberries, and then simmer until they all burst, about 10 minutes.

Cool and refrigerate, and that sauce will thicken up on its own.

An voila! It’s ready for turkey and dressing!

How easy is that?!
