Mimi’s Cranberry Sauce

Mademoiselle’s cooking for Thanksgiving and Mimi sent her a Greenberg Turkey!  But, you cannot have your turkey without cranberry sauce.  This recipe is so easy that you should NEVER use the stuff from the can again.  If you are lucky to have any left after Thanksgiving, it stores just like jelly and is great on sandwiches until its gone!
