Maple Cranberry Sauce

Easy, healthy homemade cranberry sauce recipe! Maple Cranberry Sauce is made with maple syrup. It’s gluten free, paleo, and has no refined sugar.

The rolls and the cranberry sauce have always been my favorite parts of Thanksgiving dinner.

The turkey is nice. The veggies are good. But the things that I get the most excited about are the rolls and the cranberries.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s jellied or whole berry; I just love cranberry sauce!

This Maple Cranberry Sauce is a nice twist on the usual whole berry cranberry sauce. The maple and the orange just give it a little extra depth, but the cranberry flavor still shines through.

Plus, it’s extremely easy to make, and it takes less than 15 minutes to make.
