Honey Spice Cranberry Sauce

Why use canned cranberry sauce (which is loaded with refined sugar), when you can make your own, sweetened with honey and is so easy to do? This sauce creates a perfect marriage of fresh cranberries, warm fall spices, zest of citrus, and Stakich honey to please all of your dinner guests.

There’s a lot to get done when it comes to prepping for a big dinner, so dishes that can be made ahead of time are extremely helpful. Between prep and cook time this cranberry sauce is ready in 20 minutes, and can be made up to three days in advance.

Ingredients

12 oz Cranberries

1 c. Fresh Orange Juice

1/2 c. Stakich Raw Honey

2 Tbsp. Orange Zest

1/2 tsp. Cinnamon

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, combine the orange juice and honey and cook until the honey has dissolved.
