Maple Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients

• 12 oz. cranberries
• 1 cup 100% cranberry juice
• 1 cup 100% pure maple syrup
• 1 whole lemon, zested and juiced

Directions

1. Pour all the ingredients in a medium-sized saucepan and bring it to boil.
2. Once at a rolling boil, turn the heat down to medium low and cook for about 10 more minutes until the sauce thickens.  Stir occasionally.

Notes

• Use 1/3 cup honey or 1/3 brown sugar instead of the maple syrup.
• Swap the lemon for a lime or even 1/2 an orange
• Store the extra cranberry sauce in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Use it as a snack by spreading some cream cheese on whole wheat crackers and topping with a dab of the sauce.
