Naturally Sweetened Gluten-Free Cranberry Sauce

Naturally Sweetened Gluten-Free Cranberry Sauce
Author: Cookie and Kate

Prep Time: 2 min
Cook Time: 8 mins
Total Time: 10 minutes
Yields: 2 cups

INGREDIENTS

12 ounces (1 bag) of fresh cranberries
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup 1/2 cup water
Zest of 1 medium orange*, preferably organic (about 1 teaspoon)
Optional Add-Ins: 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and/or 1/4 cup fresh orange juice

METHOD

First, rinse the cranberries well and drain off excess water. Pick through the cranberries and discard any squishy ones.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, honey, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook, occasionally stirring, until the cranberries have popped and the mixture has thickened to your liking, about 5 to 10 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the orange zest. If you’d like to add cinnamon or orange juice, add it now. Taste and, if the mixture is too tart (keeping in mind that cranberry sauce is supposed to be a little tart!), add more orange juice, honey, or maple syrup to taste.
To make it vegan, use maple syrup instead of honey. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. It will keep in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 weeks.

Prepare in advance: Make this sauce up to 2 days before your meal. Cover and refrigerate, then let it warm to room temperature before serving.

Use a grater to quickly removes the zest. You could also use the fine holes of your box grater. If you want to simplify, skip the zest and stir in 1/4 cup of orange juice instead.
