About this cranberry sauce + how to use it

Not much gives me those cozy Fall and Winter vibes like homemade cranberry sauce. This naturally sweetened cranberry sauce only uses 3 ingredients (4 if you include water) and a small saucepan. It’s so simple to make in just about 10 minutes and can enhance so many different meals. Here are some ways I like to use it.

  • In an egg scramble with veggies or on an egg sandwich
  • On a slice of sourdough with raw local honey
  • As a condiment with chicken or turkey
  • On top of pancakes, waffles or oatmeal
  • With potato latkes
Kitchen essentials

To make this naturally sweetened cranberry sauce, you’ll need:

  • A colander/strainer
  • A small saucepan
  • A mixing spoon
Substitutions
  • Raw local honey: any type of honey can be used. I prefer raw and local for it’s health and environmental benefits. You can also substitute with pure maple syrup.
  • Fresh orange juice: can be substituted for equal parts apple juice or apple cider.

Ingredients

  • 6 oz fresh cranberries

  • 1/4 cup raw local honey

  • 1/4 cup water

  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice

Directions

  • Wash cranberries. Add your cranberries to the colander to rinse them well and remove any bruised or discolored berries.
  • Cook the cranberries. In a small saucepan, add the cranberries, honey and water. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat then reduce heat to medium-low to simmer. Cook until the cranberries have popped and most of the liquid has cooked off, stirring occasionally. I like to leave some liquid because it will thicken more as it cools. This takes about 5-10 minutes. Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove from the heat.
  • Add in the orange juice. Stir in the orange juice, then allow it to cool more so it can thicken more. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The original recipe makes about one cup of cranberry sauce. The nutrition label is based on 4 servings or about 1/4 cup of cranberry sauce.
  • Store leftover cranberry sauce in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
