How Do You Make a Simple Syrup?

It is simple, really — why else would “they” call it “Simple Syrup”? Hmmm?

Rough chop cranberries and place in saucepan with water. Bring to simmer over medium heat, reduce to simmer and cook 20 minutes.
Gently mash cranberries, straining through a fine strainer or cheesecloth. It should yield about 1 cup of pulpy juice, add water to make a cup if not.
In a medium saucepan, add cranberry “juice” and 1 cup sugar. Bring to boil and IMMEDIATELY remove from heat, set aside to cool. Store in fridge. Simple syrup lasts about 1-3 months refrigerated.
