Description

Bursting with sweet, tangy, and oh so tasty flavors, this Spiced Cranberry Sauce is sure to put a smile on your face. A perfect addition to the Harvest Veggie Loaf, this delightful sauce makes a fabulous glaze and dipping sauce. A wonderful addition to any fall and Thanksgiving table.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • ¾ cup water
  • ¼ cup orange juice (freshly squeezed or organic unsweetened orange juice)
  • 2 Medjool dates, pitted and chopped (+/-)
  • 1/8 teaspoon allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch sea salt (+/-) *

Instructions

  1. Place all the ingredients into a small sauce pan and cook over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes until everything is thickened.
  2. If desired, place into a high-speed blender to create a smooth texture. Note: The mixture does not required blending if a more chutney texture is desired.  We doubled the recipe so everyone could have plenty of sauce for their Harvest Veggie Loaf individual servings. Additionally, we preferred creating a smoother sauce over the chutney textured sauce. Both taste the same, it’s just depends on texture preference.

Notes

*Sea Salt: Please adjust the sea salt based upon your family’s sea salt preferences and/or based upon dietary needs.

*Serving: Makes approx. 1 cup.  Refrigerate for up to one week.
