Add a bag of fresh cranberries, white sugar, and orange juice in a large sauce pan and whisk together.
Heat the cranberry mixture over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
After about five minutes on the stove, you’ll notice the cranberries begin to pop and make noise.
Once you see a gentle boil, reduce the heat to medium-low.
Continue to cook and stir for an additional five to seven minutes, or until most cranberries have burst open.
After ten to fifteen minutes, remove the cranberry sauce from heat and let it stand off heat.
Spoon the sauce into a serving dish, where cranberries can be served hot or completely cooled.
