Ex-Pat Cranberry Sauce

When you're abroad, cranberries, a native berry to the Americas, are not so readily available.  You can however find them in the dried fruit section of many grocery stores.

Ingredients:

• Dried cranberries
• Orange juice
• Water
• Sugar

Directions:

• Place cranberries in a sauce pan. Cover cranberries with a mixture of orange juice and water (equal parts). 
• Bring to a slow boil and reduce to a simmer.
• Let cook until the berries are plump.
• Add as much or as little sugar as you like.
• This won't be as glistening and bright as when you start with fresh or frozen cranberries, but it still tastes good!
