CRANBERRY SAUCE RECIPE: NO SUGAR ADDED

Steps:

• Place the cranberries and water in a pot and heat over medium heat.
• Mix in the applesauce, orange juice, honey, and orange zest.
• When the pot comes to a boil, reduce it to a simmer and stir in the ground cloves and ginger and cinnamon.
• Allow the sauce to simmer for around 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reaches the consistency of your liking. Taste the sauce occasionally and adjust the sweetener to taste.
• Serve this cranberry sauce alongside your favorite meat or holiday meal. It's also delicious as a lower sugar sweet option when paired with a bit of coconut cream, dark chocolate or fresh whipped cream.

CRANBERRY SAUCE - NO SUGAR ADDED

Steps:

• Place first 4 ingredients in a 4 quart saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until berries pop, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and let cool about 10 minutes.
• Using a spatula, press the berries through a mesh strainer to remove the skin and seeds. It's easiest to do this in batches, spooning about a third of the berries into the strainer and mashing them. Scrape the skins and seeds out of the strainer and then spoon in another batch of berries. Return the strained cranberry to the saucepan.
• Stir in the cornstarch mixture to the cranberry and return to a boil, stirring constantly. Add optional orange zest and/or lemon juice. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Cool. Place in a resealable container and refrigerate until use.
