Lower heat to a simmer. Add a pinch of salt and a grinding of black pepper. Cook for 15 minutes, until all the cranberries have popped and sauce has thickened. Do not overcook, as sauce will thicken more when cold.
Using a small nutmeg grater, grate nutmeg so that you have almost 1/4 teaspoon. Stir into cranberries. Cover and chill. (It will improve with age.)
Before serving, add a little molasses to sweeten, if desired. Spoon into serving dish or bowl. Grate more nutmeg on top.
