Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh cranberries
- 1 large Orange
- 6 whole Medjool dates (pitted)
- 2 tablespoons Raw honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoons Cinnamon (optional)
- 0.25 cups Walnuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries under cold water and drain well.
Zest the orange to collect about 1 teaspoon of zest. Then, peel the orange and cut it into segments, removing seeds if necessary.
In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the fresh cranberries, orange segments, orange zest, pitted dates, and raw honey or maple syrup.
Pulse the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. Some people prefer it chunky, while others like it smoother.
Taste the mixture and, if desired, add the optional cinnamon for a hint of warmth. Blend again briefly to incorporate.
Scoop the cranberry sauce into a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to meld the flavors.
For garnish (optional), sprinkle chopped walnuts over the top just before serving.
