Making fresh cranberry sauce at home is honestly one of the easiest things you can do in the kitchen, and it tastes so much better than anything from a jar. You only need three basic ingredients and just twenty minutes, which means you can whip this up even on a busy holiday morning. Fresh cranberries are packed with antioxidants that are great for your health, and they cook down into this beautiful, glossy sauce that your whole family will love. Best of all, it costs just a few dollars to make a batch that rivals anything store bought. Once you try homemade, you'll never go back.

Instructions
- 1
Bring water to a boil in a saucepan; add sugar and cook until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
- 2
Stir cranberries into the saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until cranberries have popped and sauce is chunky, about 10 minutes or longer for desired consistency. The longer you cook it, the less chunky it will be.
- 3
Pour sauce into a serving dish or jars and cover until ready to use; the pectin in the cranberries will make the cranberry sauce gel as it cools.
- 4
Mix cranberry sauce with a fork before serving.

The combination of papaya, red bell pepper, and fresh cilantro brings vibrant flavors and colors, while the rice wine vinegar and orange zest add just the right brightness.
