New england cranberry sauce

4 c  Cranberries
      1 c  Water

  Mix all ingredients in a saucepan.  Heat to boiling, stirring until
  sugar has dissolved.  Cook about 10 minutes, or until berries have
  all burst and liquid is reduced somewhat.  Sauce will thicken more as
  it cools. A pinch of cinnamon or cloves; a tsp. of lemon or orange
  zest are optional additions. The Classic recipe - none better. Famous
