Making It

Step 1:

Take the cranberries out of the bag and put them in the colander and rinse them. Use your mighty powers of perception to find bad cranberries and send them to the trash can to think about what they’ve done.

Step 2:

Rinse the orange. Dry it. Peel it. Now, cut it into bite size bits. Cute, dainty bites. Not T-Rex bites.

Step 3:

Combine the sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to boil. Add cranberries. Bring it back up to a boil.

Step 4:

Stir the dainty orange bits into the cranberries.

Step 5:

Reduce heat and boil gently (daintily) for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6:

Remove from heat, cover the pan, and cool completely at room temperature.

Step 7:

Put the cooled cranberry sauce in a food storage container and keep it in the refrigerator. Serve it cold.
