Ingredients:
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/2 to 1 cup granulated sugar

Preparation:
- Place orange juice and sugar in a medium or large saucepan. If you know you like foods sweet, use the whole cup of sugar. If you prefer a tart cranberry sauce, start with 1/2 cup of sugar. You can always add more sugar to the cranberry sauce later. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

- Cool and serve.
