Put all the ingredients in a large saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Increase heat, cover and let boil until cranberries burst, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Transfer mixture to bowl. Cover and refrigerate until cold (the sauce will thicken when cooled). The sauce can be made 4 days in advance. Store sauce in the refrigerator.
