Drunken Cranberry Sauce

So I decided earlier today to create a vegan creamy sauce atop a pasta with some sort of delicious green, inspired by one of my best friends suggested websites... however, life does in fact intervene.

The boyfriend got off work early today... We met for a drink (or two) and then stayed at this delicious restaurant for dinner. Maribelle's in Oakley (Cincinnati) provided an atmosphere where I lost myself in the sweet moment of unemployment, of no serious obligations, of awesomeness (a fine line of awesomeness, now until its not awesome when I do in fact have ZERO dollars). Here in lies my
Drunken Cranberry Sauce (not because I was buzzed and opted for an easier recipe but because I'm drunk with love for the sauce)
I bag of 8 oz fresh whole cranberries
3/4 c of sugar
1 cup of water
2 handfuls of walnuts
Bring to boil the 3/4 c of sugar with the 1 cup of water. Make sure the sugar dissolves in the water. Add the 8 oz. bag of cranberries (near 3-4 cups of whole fresh, round, delicious cranberries). Bring the berry to boil in the sugar water then simmer. Once the cranberries break (legit, a POP!), nearing ten minutes of a simmer, add the walnuts. I estimated with two handfuls of walnuts. Remove from heat and place in a bowl and allow to cool, then chill in fridge till its creates a sort of jelly. And a Happy (one week early) Thanksgiving to Ya'll!
