Tropical Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients
  

  • 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)

Instructions
 

  • 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!
