Notes
Preparing ahead and storing:
Although this cranberry sauce is incredibly quick to make you can always prepare it in advance if you wish. You can either store in the fridge in a jar up to 7 days. Or if you have leftovers you can freeze it down for another day.
Top Tips:
- Be sure to buy real maple syrup. Real maple syrup is made from the sap of a maple tree while imitation maple syrup, is sugar that has been flavoured to taste like maple syrup. Real maple syrup costs a little bit more but is worth every penny as this cranberry sauce with maple syrup is just two ingredients.
- If you want a hint more sweetness, you can add a pinch of orange zest to brighten up the flavour.
- You might hear popping sounds while making this vegan cranberry sauce but not to worry, that's just the sound of the cranberries popping open!
- If you want to break down the cranberries faster, instead of a fork, you can use a potato masher.
- If you want a super smooth easy cranberry sauce, you can always blend it up when done instead of mashing.
