Equipment

Pot
Wooden spoon

Ingredients

2 cups cranberries
1 tablespoon maple syrup (more if you prefer it sweeter)
⅛ teaspoon cardamom
⅛ teaspoon ginger powder
½ teaspoon cinnamon optional if low histamine
¼ cup water

Instructions

Add all the ingredients to a pot and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a very light simmer, and cook for 8-10 minutes. The cranberries will pop, but you can help them along with the back of a spoon. Stir occasionally.
Allow the sauce to cool, then enjoy!

Notes

Adjust the amount of maple syrup to taste preference for sweetness. You may wish to add another tbsp.
Note - cinnamon isn't always tolerated on a low histamine diet, so leave out unless you know you tolerate well.
