Homemade Low Sugar Cranberry Sauce

A homemade alternative to store bought cranberry sauce, that will also help keep the tradition of cranberry sauce on the table, but without all the sugar!

Ingredients:

• 24 ounces fresh cranberries

• ¾ cup orange juice

• ½ cup no sugar added applesauce

• ½ cup water

• juice and zest of one orange

• 3-4 TBSP honey or to taste optional

Directions:

• Place the cranberries, orange juice, applesauce and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.

• Reduce heat to medium and stir constantly until the cranberries start to explode (about 10-15 minutes).

• Reduce to a simmer and add the juice and zest of one orange to the cranberry mixture.

• Simmer 10-15 minutes and remove from heat.

• Cool completely and store in fridge at least 4 hours but preferably overnight before serving.

This will not be as sweet as store bought cranberry sauce, so make sure you taste and add honey to your liking 🍁 🦃 🍽
