Mom's Cranberry Sauce

msjill111's Note:

This recicpe is so good-I swear it taste like a piece of cheesecake. My mom makes this on Thanksgiving as well as throughout the year. She got it off of another website but doesn't remember which one. It's also very easy to make. You could easily use frozen cranberries but she always uses fresh. It's one of my favorite dishes that she makes. It's so sweet you could eat it as a desert...enjoy!
