Cranberry Sauce

Click to enlarge

This is my favorite cranberry sauce recipe.  Sometimes I add ½ c. coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans and 1-2 T. bourbon.  But I’m not consistent with that, so I didn’t include it below or in the nutritional info below.  This recipe is not suitable until the nuts and berries rung of OWL.

INGREDIENTS:

1 c. water

1 bag (12 oz) cranberries

1 c. granular Splenda (or equivalent sweetener)

1 stick cinnamon broken into two halves

1 T. grated orange peel  OR  1 T. grated lime peel

DIRECTIONS: Cook all ingredients over medium heat until all berries’ skins have popped open.  Remove from heat and chill.   Store in a jar refrigerator until ready to use.  Remove cinnamon before serving.
