Simple Holiday Cranberry Sauce
This cranberry sauce turned out so good that it really should be made on days other than Thanksgiving! It requires only four ingredients and takes less than 20 minutes to make. I has no refined white sugars in it either. It's so rich, sweet and tart and has the perfect amount of cinnamon laced throughout.

- Dump the cranberries into a strainer and rinse well. Throw away any soft or damaged cranberries.Place the rinsed cranberries in a medium sized sauce pan with the remaining ingredients and turn the heat to medium.
