UPDATE: I am changing my rating to 5 *'s!!!!! My mom requested I make this again for Xmas dinner. I took some to my bf's parent's house too (we had Xmas dinner with both my family & his). Everyone LOVED this (except for my bf and one of his bros - confirmed cranberry haters!). My only change this time was to add the sugar in the beginning as this is how I've always done it. Yum, yum!!! What an excellent recipe!!! My family just RAVED over this! Served alongside the "after Thanksgiving" dinner I prepared for my parents, bf & myself. My bf didn't care for this (but he dislikes cranberries anyways). This is a very "sticky" cran sauce that must be covered when put in the fridge to prevent it from drying out (my usual relish is not "gooey" like this... the high sugar content is the reason). Before serving, just stir and it will be fine. I must warn that the prep directions are a bit off. It will take at least 20 to 30 min. for your cranberries to pop. Simply bring a pot of cranberries & H2O to a boil (I subbed OJ for the H2O called for) and, when the berries begin to pop, reduce heat to low, add sugar and simmer until thickened. If some of the berries do not burst, gently mash them w/ a potato masher or pulse on low speed w/ a hand blender. Other than that (and also subbing homemade vanilla sugar for white sugar - thanks What a Dish for the idea!), I followed MARJK's directions to a T. This was a HUGE hit and will definitely find a place in my "keeper" file. Thx. for sharing!
