Homemade Cranberry Sauce

I used to take the easy route and buy the canned cranberry sauce until one year I found how easy it really is to make your own homemade cranberry sauce. There is no comparison from the canned sauce to homemade! My family will never go back to the canned route!

Ingredients
     1/2 cup sugar
     1/2 cup Brown Sugar
     1/2 cup Orange Juice
     1/2 cup Water
     1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
     12 oz bag of Fresh Cranberries

Directions

1. In a sauce pan, combine sugar, brown sugar, orange juice, water, and cinnamon. Stir until the sugar has been dissolved.
2. Add the cranberries and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes or until the cranberries pop. Mash and reduce heat to low and simmer up to another 10 minutes until the desired thickness.
3. Remove from heat and pour into a bowl. As the sauce cools it will get thicker.

*If desired, add 1/4 cup of Orange Marmalade when adding the cranberries for a tangier taste
