The best part about this recipe is that you can customize it to your own taste. If you like your sauce tart, add less sugar. If you like it sweet, add more. You can also add other spices, such as nutmeg or allspice, to give it a different flavor. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can even add a splash of orange juice or lemon juice for a bit of extra zing.

No matter how you make it, this easy cranberry sauce is sure to be a hit at your next holiday gathering. It's the perfect way to add a touch of homemade goodness to your table.

Step-by-step

    • Cook cranberries in water over medium heat until cranberries burst.
    • Add butter, sugar, cinnamon, and ginger; stir.
    • Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. The longer it boils, the thicker it will be. 2-3 minutes for a loose sauce, 5 minutes for a more set sauce.
    • Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
    • Let cool.
    • Can be served warm or cold.
