- serves 4-5 -

Adapted from Eat, Drink & Be Vegan by Dreena Burton.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries, rinsed *
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional)

Procedure

1. In a pot on medium-high heat, combine ingredients and bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.

2. Once boiling, reduce heat to simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cranberries have broken down. (Reduce heat is sauce is sticking or is simmering too rapidly.)

3. Once sauce has thickened, taste test, and add balsamic vinegar for a touch of sourness if desired. Serve warm or chilled.

* Author's note: Frozen cranberries can also be used; just continue simmering until cranberries break down into sauce and entire mixture thickens and becomes deeper in color.
