Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 82kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups cranberries fresh or frozen
- ¼ cup apple juice more, to preference
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon optional
Instructions
- Pour the apple juice into a pot and sprinkle in the brown sugar. Bring to a medium heat, and stir so the sugar dissolves into the juice.
- Add the cranberries and cinnamon (or cardamom) to the pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a very light simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens. Add a touch of water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Set aside to cool, and then enjoy with your festive meal!
Notes
- Stir quite frequently so the cranberries burst and become a thick sauce.
- Add a touch of water if you wish to thin the sauce.
- The cinnamon is optional, so include only if you are able to tolerate.
