Tart, glossy, and kissed with warm vanilla, this cranberry sauce is what the holiday table has been missing. Maple sugar brings a quiet depth that plain sugar never could, making every spoonful feel a little more special. Mix it up for Thanksgiving or swirl it over waffles long after the holiday rush.

Maple Sugar Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cranberries
  • 1 1/2 cups water or orange juice
  • 1 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons maple sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch salt
  • sprig of thyme (option)

Directions

  1. Bring everything to a simmer in a pot.
  2. Cranberries will pop, once they pop they are done, if you desire a thick sauce with broken down crans then cook longer for about ten minutes simmer.
  3. You may blend as well if a fine sauce is desired.
