2. Sprinkle the berries with sugar and pour in the juice of your choice. Mix and place over very low heat. Once the sauce comes to a boil, simmer for about 10 minutes. The liquid may evaporate quickly—don't worry, you can add more juice. If you've run out of juice, top it up with water. Some berries will burst, while others will remain whole. This is normal. If you're preparing the sauce for meat or fish dishes, you may add garlic, nutmeg, or herbs to taste. It's delicious even without seasonings, but will taste great with your preferred spices. You probably know that in the United States, Thanksgiving is celebrated every November. Traditionally, a stuffed turkey is served with cranberry sauce at this holiday. So if you're planning to cook poultry, make this sauce—your dish will take on a whole new flavor.
