Pick over and wash three cupfuls cranberries. Put in a stewpan, add one and one-fourth cupfuls sugar and one cupful boiling water. Cover, and boil ten minutes. Care must be taken that they do not boil over. Skim and cool.

Cranberry Sauce

Cook a pint of cranberries and a quart of water in a stewpan, and cover the stewpan. When the berries are cooked strain them through a fine sieve. To the puree thus obtained add the necessary quantity of their cooking liquor, so as to make a somewhat thick sauce. Sugar according to taste.

This sauce is mostly served with roast turkey.
