Low-Sugar Cranberry Sauce Your Kids Will Gobble Up
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag fresh cranberries (12 ounces)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick, broken in half
- 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- optional: zest and/or juice of one orange
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberries, sugar and cinnamon stick with 1 cup of water.
- When the first berries start to burst, add apple and 2 cups of water. Boil on low for about 10 minutes until apples become soft.
- This is important: Take 1/2 cup of liquid out of the pan and add cornstarch to it. Mix. Pour the cornstarch mixture back into the pot and stir.
- Take off the heat and cool. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Refrigerate for about 3 hours before serving. (Store in a covered container in the fridge for up to 1 week.)
