Ingredients
- 1 Pound Fresh Cranberries (or frozen cranberries)
- ½ Cup Coconut Sugar
- ½ Cup Orange Juice
- ½ Cup Water
- 3 Tablespoons Bourbon
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 Cinnamon Stick
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your cranberries. Rinse and dry them thoroughly. If using frozen cranberries, there is no need to rinse them.
- Add your cranberries to a large pot and add in the coconut sugar, orange juice, and water. Heat over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
- Once it's boiling, reduce the heat to low and add in the bourbon, vanilla, and cinnamon stick.
- Stir everything together well and cook for 20-22 minutes. The cranberry sauce should get nice and thick. If you want it even thicker, you can let it sit for another minute or two.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and stir.
- Serve immediately, or put in the fridge until you're ready to eat. Enjoy!
