Scale
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream (cold)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions
- Rinse fresh cranberries under cold water. In a saucepan, combine cranberries and sugar over medium heat. Cook for about 10 minutes until the cranberries burst and soften.
