Tropical Cranberry Sauce

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

1 lb. fresh or frozen whole cranberries
1 medium pineapple, cubed (if pineapple is not available where you live, you can substitute diced red apple, about 4 cups)
1/3 teaspoon ground cloves, or to taste
A pinch or two of high mineral salt (to taste), such as high quality true hawaiian, Himalayan, Celtic or Real Salt
Optional (for taste, texture, good looks and nutritional variety): 1 dragon fruit, cubed (red inside is gorgeous, but any color will do)
Optional (if you want it sweeter): 2 oranges, 1 juiced & 1 cut into bite size pieces with the seeds removed
Optional (this is a better option than the oranges for diabetics and folks with weight issues or chronic illness): pure liquid stevia to taste, like sweet leaf brand (in glycerine or water-no weird stuff)

Cook cloves, salt and all fruit, except dragonfruit (if adding), on the stove at medium high heat for about 20 minutes.
Once the cranberries break down and the sauce turns red, add the dragon fruit and cook until warm and soft.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add any desired stevia at this point (start with just a few drops if you are not used to using it, as too much can make it turn bitter). Enjoy warm or cold!
