Put cranberries, sugar, and orange juice in a sauce pan. Stir and cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes until most of the cranberries have burst.
In a small bowl, mix together the cold water and cornstarch. Add the mixture to the cranberry sauce while stirring. Stir and cook for 20-30 seconds, until thickened.
Remove from heat, cool, and store in the fridge in an airtight container.

Substitute the orange juice with an equal amount of Ocean Spray cranberry juice.

Add two cups of raspberries along with the cranberries.

You can omit the cornstarch for thinner sauce.

Store cooled sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to two months.
