Baked Brandied Cranberries

1 pound, fresh (raw) cranberries � picked over, washed and dried
1/8 teaspoon, salt
2 cups, sugar
1 cup, brandy

Place berries in a shallow, 9X13-inch baking pan. Add the salt and sugar and mix with berries. Cover baking dish with foil, place on cookie sheet and bake at 350-degrees for 1 hour. Allow berries to cool slightly before adding brandy. Refrigerate.
