Thanksgiving Cranberry Sauce
This cranberry sauce is super easy to make and so delicious! Plus it's healthier and tastier than the canned alternative so give it a try! Cranberries are packed with antioxidants and anti-cancerous properties too. Dr. Mercola does an awesome job summarizing the plethora of health benefits for cranberries here.
Ingredients
- 1 bag raw cranberries
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup freshly-squeezed orange juice
- 2 tbsp Zest from orange rind
- 4 tbsp raw unrefined coconut sugar, (or more to taste)
- 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 2 cinnamon sticks
Instructions
- Place the cranberries in a small pot with the 2 cups of water and cinnamon sticks so that the cranberries are submerged in water.
- Turn the stove on to medium-high heat until the cranberries begin to start popping (about 5-10 minutes).
- Once they begin to start popping, add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil.
- Then reduce heat to simmer for 15 minutes, adding more coconut sugar if the dish is too sour for your tastebuds.
- After 15 minutes, remove from heat and place in a glass container in the fridge to solidify and thicken. Serve cold.
