I hope you enjoy this as much as we do! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I love to add some cinnamon or a dash of cloves along with a splash of pure vanilla… They will start to thicken quickly as they pop…and beautiful cranberry juice gets released in the to the sauce: They contain the perfect amount of pectin, so they thicken naturally on their own… A little of this delicious sauce goes a long way!Īs the cranberries warm up, use the back of your fork to mash them against the side. This is a one-time-a-year sauce, so to me, it’s okay to use some natural sweeteners. I use a combo of pure maple syrup and local honey for the perfect notes of sweet. Just start with whole cranberries (fresh or frozen), and squeeze in some citrus juice (I love tangerine or clementine), then add in the zest of that citrus…

It’s sweetened with a perfect combination of raw honey & pure maple syrup…so it retains nourishing health benefits when used in small amounts! This is wonderful as a holiday sauce (of course), but also a spread for sandwiches, wraps, or to mix into a salad.Īnd it’s so easy. This sauce is just 5 ingredients & comes together in 15 minutes. I absolutely love how bright & beautiful whole cranberries are, and the immense power they have on the body. Back away from the canned stuff! An easy, super delicious, homemade cranberry sauce can be made in 15 minutes, and those whole cranberries have so many health benefits due to their potent antioxidants.
