Low-Sugar Orange-Ginger Cranberry Sauce
I briefly forgot how incredibly easy it is to make your own cranberry sauce. I couldn’t resist buying a bag of beautiful red cranberries during Thanksgiving season. As I’ve been trying to eat little to no added sugar lately, I wanted to make a low-sugar cranberry sauce. This version of low-sugar orange-ginger cranberry sauce is tart but we love the flavor to perk up the muted taste of turkey. You can, of course, always add more maple syrup to taste.
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh cranberries
- 1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
- 2 Tbsp. fresh ginger peeled and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or more to taste
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the cranberries, juice and ginger, bring it to a boil. Partially cover it and simmer it for 8 – 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries are very tender and the sauce is thick.
- Stir in the maple syrup, remove it from the heat, and let it cool. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze it for up to 3 months.
