Place water, sugar, and cranberries into a medium saucepan with tall sides. Cook over low-medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the cranberries soften.
Remove from heat, and allow the mixture to cool. Pour it through a mesh strainer to remove the cranberry pieces.

Notes
*The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 1 ounce of cranberry simple syrup. Actual calories will vary.*For more information, tips, and answers to frequently asked questions, please refer to the post.*This syrup is sweet and not too tart, making it great for cocktails and condiments. If you’d prefer a little more tartness to the syrup, use an entire 12 ounce bag of cranberries instead of only 6 ounces.*Don’t overcook the syrup; otherwise, you’ll end up with cranberry sauce.
