I really enjoy cranberry sauce, however, I do not add processed refined sugar to my food. I instead added honey to my cranberries instead of sugar.
1 bag of fresh or frozen cranberries (about 3 cups)
1 cup of water
1/2 cup of honey
Crushed walnuts, optional for added protein
Bring 1 cup of water to a boil and add the cranberries. Bring water back to a boil and boil about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally. All skins should pop. Take off the burner and stir a bit more to bring down temperature of the cranberries. Stir in the honey. Cool and then place in the fridge. Sever cold and sprinkle with crushed walnuts.
*I use raw unprocessed honey. I like to add the honey at the end, instead of with the boiling water in the beginning. This way I am not boiling out the benefits of the raw honey.
*Adjust honey amount to your own liking. I found that just 1/4 cup of honey tasted good to me as well.
*Try using the juice from an orange with the honey. I will try this next time and update with my comments.
way to keep it healty, Jenny. I also added orange zest and ginger to mine for a more dynamic flavor profile packing in addtional healthy goodness without a ton of calories.
