Homemade Vs. Storebought

Cranberry sauce is always a big debate. When I was a little girl, my grandmother would plunk out the canned cranberry sauce. I never liked it and when I got older I thought I would give cranberry sauce one more try. I made this five minute version and fell in love. It tastes amazing on top of rolls, turkey and stuffing!

Ingredients

Just a few simple ingredients are needed and a few minutes of your time.

• Fresh cranberries
• Orange juice
• Ginger
• Salt
• Maple Syrup

Mix it all together in a saucepan and you've got one great sauce!

Does Cranberry Sauce Contain Any Food Allergens?

This one shouldn't! It's perfectly safe for gluten free, dairy free, nut free, egg free, vegan, and vegetarians.
