This is a great, easy recipe to prepare with your kids so the whole family can get into the holiday spirit!
Ingredients:
Makes 6 cups cranberry sauce:
12 cups fresh cranberries (about 5 bags)
12 dates, pits removed and chopped
2 sweeter apples (gala or fuji), chopped
3 fresh cinnamon sticks
1 ½ cups water
Directions:
- In a large soup pot, add cranberries and one and a half cups water. Turn the heat up and cover the pot until the water starts to boil. Stir berries and turn the heat down to medium-low. Cover and cook for around 10 minutes.
- Add dates, apples and cinnamon sticks to the cranberry mixture. Cook until apples are softened through, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Depending on your preferences, leave the sauce as is, or blend with an immersion blender for a smoother texture. If your holiday crowd prefers a sweeter tasting sauce, add a tablespoon or two of raw honey and stir.
