Ingredients:

• 3 (8 oz) packages of organic fresh or frozen cranberries
• 1 cup water
• 2 cups organic red grapes, halved
• 1½ cups powdered SweetLeaf Indulge (Allulose, stevia, and monk fruit blend)
• 4 drops Young Living Orange Vitality Essential Oil

If you don’t have Orange Vitality oil on hand, you can substitute orange juice for the water during cooking. That’s how I made it for years, and it’s still tasty—but the flavor from the essential oil is truly next level!

Instructions:

1. Wash your cranberries and grapes well.
2. In a large saucepan, combine the cranberries, halved grapes, and water.
3. Cook over medium heat until the fruit is soft and starts to break down.
4. Use a potato masher to gently mash the mixture once the cranberries and grapes are tender.
5. (Optional) Run the mixture through a food mill if you prefer a smoother, jelly-like consistency without fruit peels.
6. Stir in the powdered sweetener and bring the sauce to a light boil for about 1 minute.
7. Remove from heat, let it cool slightly, and stir in 4 drops of Young Living Orange Vitality oil.
8. Transfer the sauce to glass jars—not only do they store the sauce safely with essential oils, but they also preserve the flavor beautifully.

Ladonna’s Tips:

• Always use glass jars when storing anything made with essential oils—especially citrus oils, which can break down plastic.
• This cranberry sauce is amazing served warm, chilled, or even spread on a slice of almond flour bread or over plain yogurt.
• It's a great make-ahead dish and tastes even better the next day after the flavors have melded.
