💫Healthy Holiday Cranberry Sauce
🌟Here’s a delicious and healthy no-sugar-added cranberry sauce recipe that is both simple to make and packed with flavor.🌟
💫Healthy No-Sugar Cranberry Sauce
✨Ingredients:
- 12 oz (about 3 cups) fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 medium orange (zested and juiced)
- 1-2 tablespoons raw honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 cup water
🌟Instructions:
🌿Rinse the Cranberries: If using fresh cranberries, rinse them thoroughly under cold water. Remove any stems or damaged berries.
🌿Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, orange juice, orange zest, water, and sweetener (if using). If you like a hint of spice, add the ground cinnamon.
🌿Cook the Sauce: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. You’ll hear the cranberries popping as they cook. Stir occasionally and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
😋Taste and Adjust: Taste the sauce and adjust sweetness if needed. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, you can add more honey or your chosen sweetener.
🍽️Cool and Serve: Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the cranberry sauce to cool. It will continue to thicken as it cools. Serve it chilled or at room temperature.
💫Store: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
💫Tips:
- Customization: Feel free to add other flavors such as chopped apples, pears, or nuts for added texture and flavor.
- Serving Suggestions: This cranberry sauce is perfect as a side dish for holiday meals.
