Cranberry Sauce

1 cup sugar (white, or for a more distinctive taste, you can use brown)
1 cup water
1 1/2 cups (12 oz) fresh cranberries, rinsed

Combine the water and sugar into a saucepan on the stove.  Bring to a boil.  Add in cranberries, return to a boil and then reduce heat, simmer for about ten or fifteen minutes, stirring occasionally.  When thickened, cover, cool and serve.
