Ingredients

  • 12 ounces Fresh Cranberries
  • 1/2 Cup Fresh Apple Cider or fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1 Whole Cinnamon Stick (or 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1/4-1/2 Cup Pure Maple Syrup

Instructions

  • Wash cranberries and sort out any mushy ones. Transfer to a 3 quart pot and add cider, ginger, cinnamon and salt. Cover and cook on medium for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Reduce heat to medium/low, remove lid and mash cranberries (if preferred). Cook and stir until any excess liquid cooks off (2-3 minutes).
  • Taste, it will be very tart. Add maple syrup to desired sweetness then cook while stirring for 2-3 more minutes or until sauce thickens again. Remove from heat and let cool before transferring to serving dish or container.
  • If blending smooth, allow sauce to fully cool then blend to preferred consistency.
