Clean Eating Cranberry Sauce

This is going to be almost as easy as using that can-opener, but the rewards are so much greater!!

Clean Eating Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients:

12 oz bag of fresh cranberries (about 3 cups)

½ cup of honey, maple syrup or agave nectar (I prefer maple syrup)

1 cinnamon stick (this is preferred, but if you can’t find any, use about a tsp of ground cinnamon)

1 Orange (for zest and juice)

½ cup of water

Directions:

Place cranberries, sweetener of your choice, cinnamon stick, and water in pot and turn the stove on (WOW, you are almost done! Lol)  Zest the orange into the pot.  Then cut and squeeze the juice from the orange.  Cook over medium-high heat until boiling.  Once it is brought to a rolling boil, turn the heat down to a simmer.  Stir more frequently towards the end.  The longer it simmers the thicker the sauce, but be sure not to let it burn.  Pay closer attention during the last 15 minutes.
