Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds fresh or frozen cranberries (8 cups), chopped
2 3/4 cups sugar
2 1/2 cups water
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, water and salt and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderately low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is bright red, 8 to 10 minutes. Strain the syrup through a fine sieve set over a heatproof bowl, without pressing; reserve the solids for another use. Stir in the lemon juice. Let the syrup cool completely, then funnel it into glass bottles and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. Shake before serving.
