Ingredients

1 cup water
1 cup white sugar
1 (12 ounce) bag fresh cranberries, rinsed and drained
3 medium jalapeño peppers, seeded and minced
2 teaspoons lemon juice
0.5 cup sherry

Instructions

Prepare all necessary ingredients.
Combine water and sugar in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and the mixture boils, approximately 5 minutes.
Introduce cranberries, jalapeño peppers, and lemon juice to the saucepan. Bring the mixture back to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook, while stirring occasionally, until cranberries burst and the sauce achieves a thickened consistency, about 10 to 25 minutes. Incorporate sherry into the sauce.
Take the saucepan off the heat and allow the sauce to cool to room temperature. Serve immediately, or transfer the sauce to a glass container. Cover and refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
