12 ounce Frozen cranberries
3/4 cup Pure maple syrup
1/2 cup Light brown sugar; firmly packed
1/4 cup Water
1/2 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
Combine all ingredients in a heavy saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer for 8 minutes or just until the berries begin to pop, stirring often. Pour sauce into a serving bowl, and let cool completely. Serve chilled, if desired.
Note: You can make this sauce up to a week in advance. Keep it covered in refrigerator.
