In a saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar and water.

Boil over high heat until cranberries pop open. This will take about 5 minutes.

Allow to cool.

Taste and adjust sweetness as desired. Honey may be substituted for sugar; use a little less at first; more may be stirred in if needed when cranberry sauce has chilled. Orange juice can be used instead of the water to make cranberry orange sauce.

This is a whole berry sauce; not a jelled cranberry sauce.
