Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
- 1 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Stevia sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries under cold water and remove any stems or damaged berries.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water, orange juice, stevia, orange zest, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the cranberries to the saucepan. Stir occasionally and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries begin to pop and break down.
Once the cranberries have softened and the sauce has thickened, remove the saucepan from heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract and allow the cranberry sauce to cool slightly.
Transfer the sauce to a serving dish or an airtight container if storing. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm or chilled. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
