Fruity, zesty and slightly sweet, my cranberry sauce recipe packs a punch without overloading on the sugar as it’s refined sugar-free. With only four ingredients it’s incredibly quick and easy to make, so why not give it a try this year? And while it goes beautifully with my pecan and sage stuffing, it’s also a versatile and tangy addition to lots of other dishes: think chestnut soup, smoothies or even brownies!
