Thanksgiving 2009: Maple Cranberry Sauce

This was EPIC! I loved this cranberry sauce so much the kids and I ate it like jello the next day and that never happens with the canned stuff. I wind up just feeding that to Mr. Garbage Disposal. I think this is another dish that will show up each holiday.

Maple Cranberry Sauce

• 2 12-ounce packages fresh cranberries
• 1 1/2 cups pure maple syrup
• 1 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
• 1/2 cup water

Combine all ingredients in heavy large saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until cranberries pop, stirring often, about 12 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Cool completely. (Can be made 5 days ahead. Cover; chill.)
