Cranberry sauce

I made cranberry sauce for the first time ever this morning. Yay. It turned out great. I may never go back to the canned stuff. My daughter was eating it for breakfast and saying how yummy it was. I just followed the recipe for whole berry sauce on the package of the Ocean Spray cranberries.
