12 oz. pkg. cranberries
3/4 c. water
1 1/4 c. sugar

Wash the cranberries and discard the few that are too soft or too hard. In a large saucepan, bring to a boil water and sugar. Boil 5 minutes. Put the cranberries in the boiling water. Bring to a rapid boil so they will pop. When they begin to pop, reduce heat to medium and cook 5 minutes, stirring a few times. Remove from heat. When cool, refrigerate. Can be frozen.
