Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry Sauce

Homemade cranberry sauce not only tastes sooo much better, it also is good for you!

  • 12 ounce bag of fresh cranberries (organic if possible)
  • 1/4-1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (I like sour so I go for the less sweet)
  • 1/4 cup filtered water
  • 1/2- 3/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 1 tsp organic orange zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Wash cranberries and pick out any squishy cranberries and compost them.
  2. Add cranberries, sweetener and filtered water to a pot. Bring to a boil then cover and turn heat to medium-low and cook for about 10 minutes.
  3. Remove pot from heat and stir in the orange juice, zest and cinnamon. Add more sweetener 1 tsp at a time if desired.
  4. Pour mixture into a quart jar and store in the fridge until serving.
  5. Happy Thanksgiving!
