  • 227 grams fresh cranberries (or frozen cranberries)
  • 3/4 cup packed grated apple (use a sweet apple such as gala or honey crisp)
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch sea salt

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to a medium pot and place it on the stove.
  • Turn on the heat to medium and bring the ingredients to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the cranberries are the texture you desire.

Notes

  1. This cranberry sauce makes great leftovers and can be stored in the fridge for up to 7 days.
  2. If you want to make it a little sweeter feel free to add a little honey or maple syrup. 
  3. If you would like a stronger orange flavour add a bit of orange zest.
