Homemade Cranberry Sauce is delicious on chicken, lean pork loin...and of course Turkey! This year, go fresh. Purchase Organic fresh cranberries and start from scratch.
What you'll need:
1 bag of Organic Cranberries
Small orange
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Cayenne
Orange Juice
Raw Organic Agave Syrup
Bring to boil 1 bag of cranberries in 1/2 cup of orange juice. Set to simmer for 10 minutes. Add 1 tsp. of orange zest, a dash of cinnamon, a dash of nutmeg and a very light dash of cayenne. (For a little spunk!)
Next, stir in 1/2 cup of Orangic Raw Agave Syrup. Divide out half the batch and blend/puree in a food processor or Magic Bullet type device. Return puree to the batch and stir. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
This recipe is a delicious alternative to the high amounts of regular processed sugar that is added to most cranberry sauces. The dark raw agave gives this sauce a delicious flavor to compliment the tartness. This is not necessarily a low-calorie cranberry sauce, so please be mindful with your serving size. Yet, this recipe is a healthier alternative in terms of eating clean. Enjoy!
