Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, diced apples, orange juice, lemon juice, orange zest, lemon zest, nutmeg, cinnamon stick, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and water.
    2. Bring everything to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer.
    3. Let the sauce simmer until the cranberries burst and the apples soften, about 20 minutes.
    4. Remove the cinnamon stick and let the sauce cool. It will thicken beautifully as it rests.
