Sugar-free Cranberry Sauce Recipe

Written by Becky

I seem to change up the my Thanksgiving cranberry sauce recipe every year. This year I made this sugar-free cranberry sauce with local honey from Slide Ridge Honey plus a splash of their honey wine vinegar. The vinegar adds a subtle intrigue to the flavor and the pineapple and honey add sweetness while the combination of spices and orange zest make it perfectly wintery! We loved the results! Feel free to sweeten to your likeness with additional honey. Enjoy!

Quote of the day:

Gathering at the table is the culmination of everything we believe in. Our table will always be full with stories and friendship, even if it is a mere loaf of bread. Our sincerest hope is that you take time to sit, eat, and share life together. Life’s most powerful moments happen at the table. Food brings people together in magical ways.

  1. Can I substitute anything for the honey wine vinegar? Apple cider vinegar maybe? I don’t see anything local, and I’m not sure if I would have enough time to order online…

    • Andi, I think apple cider vinegar would work fine or just a little white wine vinegar! You will have to try the honey wine vinegar if you ever have the chance though – it’s fabulous!

  2. I made this on Saturday for a kitchen demo I was doing. It made the whole store smell wonderful, and it tasted even better! I generally don’t like cranberry sauce, but this may convert me!
