ESTELLE'S SPICED CRANBERRY SAUCE
1 (12 ounce) package of fresh cranberries
1 3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. allspice
1/8 t. salt
1/8 t. ginger
1/8 t. ground cloves

In a saucepan, combine all of the above ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the berries pop and the mixture is thickened. This will take about 30 minutes. Cool! Transfer to a serving bowl and cover. Chill until ready to serve. This makes about two cups!
