 | Cranberries are one of the foods I have always most associated with Thanksgiving, but I never really liked the cranberry sauce I remember being served growing up. I hope you enjoy my redo of that classic, made with less sugar and it tastes better. |
Ingredients:
12 oz package of fresh cranberries
1 cup water
3 tsp agar powder
1/4 tsp liquid stevia extract
2 cups freshly squeezed OJ
2TBS maple syrup
1/4 tsp orange extract.
Directions:
1) Place cranberries in a large bowl and pick over and remove any that are soft. Fill bowl with water, swish berries well and drain in a strainer. Do this several times until berries have been well rinsed. Drain them very well.
2) Place berries in a covered pot along with the one cup of water and the 4 tsp of agar powder and bring to a boil. When you hear the berries starting to pop, cover and turn heat to low and allow to simmer about five more minutes until berries start to fall apart. Stir in the remaining ingredients remove from heat. Allow it to cool slightly and barely thicken before transferring it into a mold. To transfer, stir well and then spoon it into a mold and chill for several hours until firm. When ready to serve, place the mold in warm water for a couple of minutes to loosen it from the container. Place your serving plate on top and then carefully invert the whole thing. You might need to tap it some to get it to fall out onto the plate.
