Calories
Ingredients
- 1 bag 12-ounce fresh cranberries
- 2 tangerines or clementines zest and juice
- 1/2 cup raw honey
- 1/2 cup 100% pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- optional:
- 2 cinnamon sticks
Instructions
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add cranberries and heat on medium-high. Add in the zest of the citrus and squeeze in citrus juice. Stir and cook for 5 minutes. Cranberries will start to pop. Mash them to the side of the pan with a fork as they soften.
- Pour in honey and maple syrup. Turn heat to medium and stir occasionally. Cook another 10 minutes, popping the cranberries by mashing them as they cook.
- Turn heat off and stir in vanilla. If desired, add in two cinnamon sticks. Sauce will thicken as it cools. Serve warm and store leftovers in the refrigerator!
Notes
Ground cinnamon and a pinch of cloves may be added for another holiday flavor. Any orange citrus will work in this recipe if tangerines, mandarins or clementines are not available. Serve sauce on a charcuterie board, use sauce as a sandwich spread or serve alongside any protein. Sauce may be served warmed or cooled - it is delicious either way!
