This naturally sweetened cranberry sauce is a tasty, healthy alternative to traditional cranberry sauce. It tastes just as good as the original, without the added sugar.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz fresh cranberries organic
  • ¾ cup apple juice organic without any additives
  • ½ cup honey raw & organic
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon organic
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated orange rind organic

Instructions

  • Combine cranberries, apple juice, honey, and cinnamon in a sauce pan or pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for 5-10 minutes or until most of the cranberries pop. Be sure to stir occasionally.
  • Remove from heat, stir in grated orange rind. Cool to room temperature and then move to airtight container and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Enjoy chilled with your favorite holiday recipes.

Notes

Replace the honey with maple syrup for a vegan alternative. 
The sauce will thicken as it cools. This recipe will be tart, so if you’d like it a bit more sweet, add a little more honey or maple syrup to taste.
