My wife found this recipe. It's all we use now and is super simple to make.
Makes about 2 1/2 cups
Prep Time: 5 min
Cook Time: 12 min
INGREDIENTS
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup sugar
• 12-oz bag fresh or frozen cranberries (3 cups)
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
PREPARATION
Bring water and sugar to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add cranberries and simmer, stirring occasionally, until berries just pop, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in zest, then cool.
Cooks' note:
· Cranberry sauce may be made 3 days ahead and chilled, covered.

I basically make the same recipe every Thanksgiving morning. After it comes off the heat it sits covered room to room temperature. Other than my MIL, who demands the cold canned version, everyone seems to enjoy it.
