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.
In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, combine the orange juice and honey and cook until the honey has dissolved.
Add in the orange zest and spices and stir for 30 seconds.
Then add in the cranberries and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until most of the berries have popped and the sauce has thickened up. This should take approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Your house should smell divine by now!
Remove from heat, cool, and refrigerate until you're ready to use.

Propolis is a resinous mixture produced by honey bees when they collect sap from trees and mix it with beeswax and enzymes. The result: nature’s own protective compound, used by bees to seal their hive and guard against bacteria, fungi, and weather. Because of its rich composition of polyphenols, flavonoids, and antimicrobial compounds, propolis is now valued as a “bee-made immunity booster” and “ wellness ally.” PMC+2PMC+2
Let’s get real about honey bees for a second: These little guys are basically the world’s MVPs. You think they buzz around making honey for your toast? Bees: The Real Foodies’ Wingmen, Here’s the serious bit: When bees start dropping off, it’s a big red flag for the environment. They’re like those canaries in the coal mine—if they’re not okay, odds are, we’re messing something up (pesticides, climate, you know the drill). Saving the bees isn’t just about saving honey; it’s about keeping our own butts.
