Ocean Spray Cranberry Sauce...from scratch!

I always wanted to make fresh cranberry sauce...and I finally did!
It's rediculously good and so simple to make you may not go back to canned!There are so many variations but I went with this one from Ocean Spray and its absolute heaven. Enjoy this homemade holiday staple from scratch.

1 cup sugar
1 12oz package Ocean Spray fresh or frozen cranberries

To make jellied cranberry sauce...

Prepare as directed above. Before cooling, place a wire mesh strainer into mixing bowl. Pour contents of saucepan into strainer into. Mash berries with back of spoon, frequently scraping the outside of the strainer until no pulp is left. Stir contents of bowl. Pour into serving container. Cover and cool.

Note: I was able to use a regular collander over a mixing bowl. I also used a potato masher, mashed all the berries and returned them to the mixing bowl and comined all the contents for a rich sauce.
