Ingredients

  • 3 cups of fresh cranberries roughly 12oz
  • ½ cup of maple syrup or sweetener of your choice
  • The juice of one large orange about ¾ cup
  • 1 tablespoon zest of an orange
  • 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger
  • ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoon of slivered almonds optional
  • water if required

Instructions

  • Toss all of the ingredients into a sauce pan and bring to the boil.
  • Once boiled reduce heat to simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • During simmering the cranberries will start to burst and the sauce thicken.
  • When 10 minutes have passed remove pan from heat, allow to cool and serve or store in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • If the sauce isn't thick at the time, it's okay as it will thicken with time.
  • Use whatever sweetener you see fit but be sure to use coconut nectar, maple syrup, agave nectar.
  • If you don't want to use ½ cup of sweetener, just use less.
  • Keep your cranberry sauce refrigerated at all times.
  • Your cranberry should keep for about a week.
