REAL FRUIT

I HAVE NEVER MADE HOMEMADE CRANBERRY SAUCE BEFORE.  I ALWAYS WOULD JUST BUY THE CANNED OCEANSPRAY BRAND AND THOUGHT IT WAS PERFECT.  THAT IS UNTIL I HAD MY AVERSION TO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP.  WITH ONLY ONE BRAND OF ORGANIC TO CHOSE FROM AT MY LOCAL WEGMANS, I OPTED TO MAKE MY OWN.  WEGMANS DID HAVE SOME ORGANIC CRANBERRIES. THEY WERE ABOUT A DOLLAR MORE THAN THE CONVENTIONAL, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH IT

 I NEVER HAVE BOUGHT ORGANIC CANE SUGAR BEFORE...IT IS SO PRETTY AND SPARKLY!!

 AND IT WAS A PERFECT SETTING, COMPLETE WITH SOME PINK FLOYD ON THE PANDORA RADIO...

 IT TOOK ME ALL OF 10  MINUTES UNTIL THEY STARTED POPPING! AND IT SMELLED SO SO GOOD!!

 WHEN IT WAS DONE COOKING, I JUST ADDED A LITTLE LESS THAN 2 TABLESPOONS OF SUGAR. THEN I POPPED IT IN THE FRIDGE...

THEY WERE DEFINITELY NOT AS SWEET AS THE CANNED KIND, MORE TART. BUT I THINK THAT IS HOW IT SHOULD BE, THE REAL FLAVOR OF THE CRANBERRIES WAS GREAT. AND SO MUCH MORE HEALTHIER!!
