Easy Homemade Cranberry Sauce

This cranberry sauce is easy and delicious, with perfect texture and sweetness. Recipe originally from Eat, Drink and Be Vegan, by Dreena Burton. (She is a wonderfully sweet woman, and her recipes are wonderful!) You can find her blog here.

Ingredients:

1 ½ cup fresh cranberries
1 cup maple syrup
1 tsp balsamic vinegar (optional)

Preparation:

Combine cranberries and syrup in a saucepan. Stir occasionally while heating on high heat, until syrup is boiling and berries start to pop. Decrease heat to low, and cook until cranberries break down completely. Add balsamic for a bit of tangy flavor. Cranberry sauce can be served warm or chilled.
