ACTUALLY YUMMY CRANBERRY SAUCE

For the best flavor, be sure to make this the night before!!!!

5 whole allspice berries
5 whole cloves
3 cinnamon sticks

4 cups fresh cranberries

1 1/2 cups water

2 cups sugar

1. Place spices in a spice bag - I get mine at World Market Cost Plus.  Place in medium size sauce pan along with cranberries and water.

2. Bring to a boil, and cook until berries start bursting - about 10 minutes. Remove spice bag (if you're making Apple Cider for the same meal - don't discard it! Reuse it!).

3. Reduce heat to low and add sugar.  Continue to cook until sugar is dissolved (about 5 minutes).  Remove from heat and cool. Place in refrigerator overnight (the MINIMUM amount of time to allow the flavors to develop would be 8 hours, but honestly, it really "comes into its own" after about 12 hours in the fridge).
