Redder Than Red Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients:

• 350 g cranberries
• 200 g of sugar
• 3 tbsp. l. cherry liqueur
• 120 ml of water
• Lemon juice, optional

Preparation:

1. Place all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer until the liquid has reduced and the sauce has thickened.
2. Since the pectin-rich fruit solidifies immediately as it cools, it's best to remove the saucepan from the heat while there's still enough liquid in the sauce. The berries will usually burst after 10 minutes of cooking, and the sauce is ready. Taste for sugar and add more if needed (if the sauce is too sweet, add lemon juice).
