Cranberry Sauce

Who doesn't love cranberry sauce with their turkey (or 'Tofurkey')? Well, no one who isn't a holiday menu feast connoisseur, or is that too 'saucist'? I say no, in my sauciest of sass food snobbery. But I digress. Here's the down-low on this deliciously sassy, sugar-free, farm-to-table cranberry sauce. 

We only grow a few cranberry canes as a test crop, but we still source our cranberries locally and grow other ingredients. We are about 20 minutes from a great ocean bog where cranberries grow wild, so every jar includes wild-foraged cranberries. Awesome, right? I know!

My cranberry sauce is family-approved, going back decades, even now having been converted to sugar-free. Trust me, if it tasted different and in any way less delicious, they would let me know in a nanosecond. That's how we roll when it comes to family gatherings over here.

This cranberry sauce is full of fresh cranberries, with a hint of apple and orange, and topped off with a teeny touch of cognac. Why cognac? Because my beloved grandmother, rest her soul, always said three truths:

1. No matter how you feel, always make sure your hair looks awesome
2. Never stop learning
3. A touch of Cognac makes pretty much everything taste better

Now, I may not add cognac to my scrambled eggs, but the bottom line is she's right on point with this cranberry sauce. 

The cranberry sauce is sweetened using allulose*, so there is no aftertaste or artificial sweeteners; it is low-carb and 100% guilt-free! Hooray!

Made in small batches, hand-labelled, and topped with fabric over the cap, our jars are finished with a fabric cover and ribbon. However, as we use fabric scraps, the exact fabric and ribbon may change based on supply.

Ingredients: Cranberries, water, orange juice, apples (peeled), orange rind, allulose, pure citrus peel pectin, calcium water, cognac, potassium sorbate.

*Allulose is a rare sugar in nature in small quantities, such as figs and raisins. It is a monosaccharide or simple sugar, that is absorbed by the body but excreted through the kidneys and not metabolized, so it is nearly calorie-free.
