Homemade Cranberry Sauce

This Cranberry Sauce recipe was actually one my mom found that we used for Thanksgiving dinner, since this uses fresh cranberry, it does come out a little tart/sour.

I happen to like the taste, but if you would prefer it to be sweeter you can add more sugar until it reaches your approval.
