Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup Splenda Stevia
  • 3 1/2 cups frozen or fresh cranberries
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest (more to taste if cutting out the orange juice)
  • 1/3 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract (if desired )
  • Orange peels/cinnamon sticks for garnish if desired

Instruction

  • Combine the water and Splenda Stevia and place on a stove on medium-high heat. Once the Splenda Stevia is dissolved, add in 3 cups of berries, reserving 1/2 cup for later if you love whole berries in the sauce.
  • Boil for 10-15 minutes until the berries start popping and dissolving into the mixture. Crush them even further using a wooden spoon against the side of the pot. Cook until the mixture is thickened and has reduced down into a lovely sauce.
  • Add in the whole cranberries and the orange zest at this point and cook for another 5-6 minutes.
  • Once the large berries are softened, remove from the heat. Stir in the cinnamon and optional vanilla adjusting to taste.
  • Store in a closed container in the fridge and serve chilled.
