You really should never ingest any essential oil. Why not use real lemon so you can get the health benefits?

Thanks for this much-healthier-than-storebought version!! Honey, while not *cane* sugar, is a form of sugar. Some might even consider the fruit juice to be “added sugar,” and since you state the honey is optional, maybe that’s what she’s referring to? Not sure how you could make a good cranberry sauce without all the sweet juice though, as cranberries are so tart and bitter. I’m excited to try this recipe without the honey since I tend to avoid sweeteners in general, but I’ll add some if necessary.
Thanks again Katie!! A fruit-sweetened cranberry sauce is exactly what I wanted for this Thanksgiving!

It’s fine to link to the post and even quote from it, but I don’t allow full articles to be republished elsewhere. Thanks for checking though!

Would you mind if I link back to your post from my site? As I said, it is still under construction and is a blog about living a happy, healthy retirement…I am always searching for recipes that help my husband and I to transition to a wfpb diet and I come back to your site frequency. Can’t wait to share!

Thanks!

Hi Rhea,
You might want to know, that regular, or organic Agave is the same as eating , High Fructose corn syrup.

I’ll let you know in a few days 🙂 After years of making two cranberry sauces, one with all the sugar and one with sugar substitutes plus some thickener for my diabetic cousin, this recipe passed all the hurdles for everyone, though some would like it sweeter next year. My cousin loved it as is, so I will be replacing this recipe for the prior I used for his Christmas present: twelve jars of cranberry sauce that he loves on toast a couple of times a week. I will add a spoonful of lemon juice to the top of each jar for a little insurance, may or may not be needed.

I made the recipe exactly as written but I did need to add more honey and a little stevia to take out some of the sourness. It was very tart. But now it is delicious!! Thanks!

Where are you seeing added sugar? I don’t add sugar into any of my recipes…

Oh Cheryl, if it is not too much bother, would you share the recipe? It sounds amazing? The sugarless cranberry sauce sounds great, too!

don’t know if you ever received an answer to your question. I’m going to try this recipe and that would be something I would wonder about also.
