Sugar Free Cranberry Sauce

This Sugar Free Cranberry Sauce is fragrant, fruity, sweet, and tangy. It's naturally sweetened, healthier than the traditional version, but still sticky and jammy. It's quick and easy to make, naturally vegan and gluten-free, and easily customisable. Plus, it can be made ahead for Thanksgiving and Christmas!
