Cranberry simple syrup

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup sugar
• 10 oz fresh or frozen cranberries

Combine sugar and water in a small pan over medium heat.  Heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add cranberries and bring syrup to a simmer.  Maintain simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Remove from heat, allow to cool and strain solids.  (You can use the cooked cranberries like a jam or cranberry sauce to prevent waste!)
