Rinse the cranberries and remove any stems. Drain them and place them in a medium sauce pot. Add the water, sugar, and ground cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Turn the heat to medium and stir. After a few minutes the berries will begin to pop. Let them cook for about five to seven minutes or until the berries are mostly popped. Cover with a lid and let the sauce cool. It will become gel-like. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator until ready to use. Will keep for a month or more.
