Some people love canned cranberry sauce, but I just never have. Also, canned goods have a toxic lining (even the ones that claim to be BPA free). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Homemade cranberry sauce changed my mind! I actually like cranberry sauce now and feel good about serving it to my family (also people are I usually impressed, even though it\u2019s easy to make)! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are many, many different recipes on the internet, and they greatly vary in ingredients. I created this one and continue to tinker with it. It is a great balance of tartness with some sweet orange and a tiny bit of spice for flavor (or you can omit those if you prefer).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best thing about this recipe is that you can adjust the amounts of everything to your liking as far as taste and consistency! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pure monkfruit powder. You can add more to your liking, but be sure to add a little at a time because it is possible to add too much. Here is an Amazon associates link to the one I use: https:\/\/amzn.to\/47p0xCb<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 \u00bc tsp. Salt (this actually helps bring out the sweetness) (see my low lead salt guide<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Combine everything over medium heat in a glass cooking pot until it comes to a boil and the cranberries start popping. Be aware that wooden spoons may get stained from stirring this mixture. Reduce heat to a simmer, stir occasionally and cook about 15 minutes or until your desired texture. As you cook it, it will naturally get a gelled, thick consistency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n If it is still too tart for you, you can add a sweetener of your choice (honey, maple syrup, etc) at any time. Add one tablespoon at a time; it\u2019s possible to add too much and alter the flavor greatly, so go slow. After cooking, you can also choose to add 1\/4 tsp. or more of Organic Vanilla Extract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is a link<\/a> to help remedy your cranberry sauce if you add too much of something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A tip for leftover cranberry sauce is that it can be used similar to a jelly or jam alongside various breakfast foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n To check out new and additional posts, please visit and \u201clike\u201d my Facebook page<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/CleanGreenToxicantFree\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n ***Thank you for visiting Clean Green Toxicant Free!
