Wash cranberries under running water (if fresh).

Stir your sweetener of choice into the water in a sauce pan over medium heat until dissolved.

Add the cranberries and bring to a gentle boil.

Lower the temperature and allow the cranberries to simmer for 13-15 minutes. You’ll know they are done when the berries begin to burst and the sauce has thickened a bit.

Taste the suace and add additional sweetener if necessary.

Once you are satisfied with the taste, take the pot off of the burner and allow the sauce to cool.

This is when you would blend the sauce until it reaches your desired consistency. If you liked whole cranberries in your sauce, then you are done!

The sauce should be refrigerated once cooled.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 week or up to 3 months frozen in the freezer.
