Julie's Homemade Cranberry Sauce

My sister in law made this for Thanksgiving several years ago and while I was skeptical at first (really - raisins and nuts?) my family LOVES this cranberry sauce. I haven't made it yet this year, so a picture will follow possibly some time next week.

Combine:
1 package cranberries
3 c. sugar
1 c. water
1 c. raisins
2 T. lemon juice
1/2 t. grated lemon peel
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. ground cloves

Bring mixture to a boil over medium high heat stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, or until cranberries pop and thicken.
Add 1/3 c. walnuts if desired.
