By Chuck Underwood

Why use jellied cranberry sauce from a can when you can make your own? Skip the refined sugar and high-fructose corn syrup! This all-natural sauce is tangy, sweet, and easier to make than you think!

Prep: 1 hr Cook: 10 mins Yield: 2 cups

Gluten Free Nut Free Soy Free

Ingredients

6 Medjool dates, pitted
1 (12-ounce) bag cranberries, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen dark sweet cherries
1 Tbsp orange zest
1 cinnamon stick
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp allspice
1 cup orange juice

Whole Food, Plant-Based Living: Getting Started

Instructions

1. Soak the dates in hot water until softened, about 1 hour.
2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the cranberries, dark cherries, orange zest, and spices.
3. Drain the soaked dates and add to a blender with orange juice. Process until smooth, and pour blend into the saucepan.
4. Adjust the heat to medium-high until the cranberries begin to pop, then reduce to a slow simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Remove from heat and allow to cool. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
6. Adjust seasoning to taste. For a sweeter sauce, add a few more cherries or blend another date.
