Ingredients for 1 servings:
1. 3 cups fresh cranberries
2. 1 cup sugar
3. 1/2 cup water
4. 1 -2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
1. Stir together the cranberries, sugar, and water in a 2-qt. saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a boil, 5-10 minutes.
2. Continue cooking, stirring often, until cranberries pop and mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3-4 minutes longer.
3. Remove pan from heat; cool 30 minutes.
4. Stir in the vanilla; transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
5. Bring to room temperature before using, or if serving as a sauce, warm in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring once, until desired consistency is reached.
