Ingredients
- 12 ounces (340 g) cranberries, washed
- ½ cup (99 g) packed dark brown sugar
- ½ cup (120 ml) water
- 1 teaspoon (2 g) chopped rosemary

Instructions
- Wash the Cranberries - Give the cranberries a good rinse under cool water to remove dirt and debris.
- Simmer the Sauce - In a medium pan, add cranberries, brown sugar, water, rosemary, thyme, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

- Let it Cool - Turn off the heat and remove the cinnamon stick. Taste the sauce and add more sweetener if desired.
- To Serve - If needed, add more water for a thinner sauce. Allow to cool slightly to thicken before serving.
