Healthier Gluten-Free Cranberry Sauce
This Holiday Season try decorating your beautiful Thanksgiving table with a healthier version of cranberry sauce.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries (buy organic to cut out the pesticides)
- 1 cup fresh water
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
Optional: grated orange peel
Instructions
- Wash the cranberries and pull out any that don't look healthy.
- Place in a small pot. Add the water and maple syrup.
- Slowly bring to a boil, stirring often so the cranberries do not burn.
- Turn down the heat to about medium and continue to cook, stirring often as the berries break open. Be careful not to burn yourself as they pop!
- As this cooks down the sauce will become thicker. Lots of stirring as the whole process takes about 10-15 minutes. When most of the berries have broken opened, your sauce is ready.
Notes
Helpful hint: As the berries are cooking, you can help them to break open by using the back of the spoon you're using to stir. They do pop, so be careful not to burn yourself!
