Impress Your Guests with DIY Cranberry Sauce

November 16, 2017

By Carly Stein

Step away from that canned cranberry-ish jelly stuff. It’s loaded with weird ingredients and tons of sugar, and it squishes out of the can in a can-shaped blob (yuck). Instead, dress up your holiday table by making your own from scratch—it’s easy, it’s far healthier, and it tastes so much better. Win-win-win.

Beegan Cranberry Sauce

SERVES

PREP TIME

00 min

COOK TIME

00 min

Ingredients

3 cups fresh of cranberries (frozen or fresh)

1/3 cup raw honey + more if needed

1 tablespoon orange zest

1/2 cup fresh orange juice

1/2 cup water

6 sprays of propolis

Cinnamon stick

Directions

Place a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat and add the cranberries, 1/3 cup of raw unpasteurized honey, orange zest, orange juice, water, and the cinnamon stick.

You will need to keep stirring occasionally, until the cranberries start to pop and the whole mix starts boiling.

Continue to keep your mixture boiling until it turns into a sauce like texture, this will take around 15 minutes.

Now comes the fun part… the taste test! Taste the sauce for sweetness. If you find it’s too tart, add more honey until it is too your liking. Remember this ain’t no jam! So you don’t need it to be super sweet, just the perfect tartness!

Remove the sauce from the container and let it cool. Serve as desired and get ready for hella compliments.
