Cranberries and Honey
A simple yet vibrant cranberry sauce sweetened with honey. Tart, glossy, and lightly floral, it’s the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Serve warm or chilled with both sweet and savory dishes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/3 cup honey (or to taste)

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, honey, water, citrus juice (if using), and salt.
- Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer.
