Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients

    blank

    • 3 cups whole cranberries (fresh or frozen)

    • 3/4 cup water or 100% orange juice

    • 1 cup sugar (sucanat, coconut, or maple sugar)

    • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

    Directions

    1. Add cranberries, orange juice, and maple sugar to a medium saucepan and set the burner to medium heat on the stovetop.

    2. Stir and cook, bringing the cranberry mixture to a boil (about 5-10 mins), then lower the heat to a simmer and allow it to cook 5-10 more minutes, stirring and scraping the sides occasionally to prevent the sugar from burning, until most of the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened (it will thicken quite a bit while cooling as well.)

    3. Turn the heat off and stir in the cinnamon and nutmeg. Allow the sauce to cool for about 15 minutes in the saucepan. Once it's no longer too hot to handle, transfer to a container or dish, cover, and refrigerate if desired until cooled to your preference, then serve.
