Leanna Cappucci, owner of Bedrock Living, and Paleo based Nutrition and Fitness Coach brings us the perfect version of paleo cranberry sauce. It’s totally paleo and makes both a great side dish and as a dessert.

For those who wanted to try a healthier version of cranberry sauce, I guarantee it’s the best you’ve ever had.  Even if you think you hate cranberries – this is worth trying. For me, cranberries epitomize fall fruits. “Cranberry Sauce,” that gelatinized canned goo that you buy at the store is insulting to our senses. This version uses whole foods and keeps them recognizable!

I’ve been making this version of cranberry sauce for about 12 years, originally I started with white sugar, then moved to a more paleo-ish sweetener; using grade b maple syrup. This can also be made omitting any sweetener and relying on just the clove and cinnamon to tone down the tartness of the berry. Also, if you use canned pineapple in fruit juice, the juice would act as a natural sweetener. Another option would be to omit the syrup and add a few drops of liquid, organic stevia to taste, remembering that a little goes a very long way!

But, here is exactly how I make it in my house:
