This honey cranberry sauce recipe uses only a handful of ingredients and takes just 20 minutes to make! It's a holiday table must have that's SCD, paleo, gluten free, and refined sugar free.
Growing up I never liked cranberry sauce but as I got older I realized that I didn't like canned cranberry sauce.
Homemade cranberry sauce however, I LOVE and now my holiday table isn't complete without it!
This naturally sweetened cranberry sauce uses no refined sugars but is just as sweet, tart, and delicious!
It's also a much healthier and tastier option than the canned stuff.
Ingredients
Clementine Juice and Zest - A tangerine or Valencia orange can be used instead.
