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
