Not too tart, not too sweet...

A lot of people don't like cranberry sauce, but I think that's cause they've never had fresh. The husband lu-uh-uhves it, so it's a necessity on our holiday table. And it's surprisingly easy. It's awesome on ice cream, too.

Cranberry Sauce
2 cups fresh cranberries (freeze the remaining cranberries for later)
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup sugar
dash cinnamon
dash vanilla

Over medium heat, cook all ingredients, stirring frequently. After a few minutes, the cranberries start popping open. Continue cooking until well blended and saucy, about 5 minutes. Serve hot, warm, cold, or anything in between.
