Day 1785 | Naturally Sweetened Cranberry Sauce

It seems like I’m one of the few people at my Thanksgivings that actually likes cranberry sauce. It’s me, Chase, and Robbe and maybe one or two more folks that add it to their plate. I love it, though. I think it’s the perfect compliment to turkey and I will happily make a batch for just myself, if need be.

I’m really excited about the recipe I found this year. As you might remember, I make it a goal of mine to remove refined sugar from my baking and cooking whenever possible. Typical cranberry sauce recipes have a cup (ONE WHOLE CUP) of sugar. I think that’s just crazy. I’ve tried sweetening my cranberry sauce with pineapple juice in the past but this one with maple syrup is even better!

I’m going to put the recipe right here so I have it saved for next year (in case you’re curious, I added the orange zest but not the juice or cinnamon):

Why yes, the cranberry sauce pictured above is in one of the pottery dishes I made. Thanks for noticing! ;)
