Welcome to our second installment of Simply Sugarless, a new column written by Starr Struck's own Sara Meeks! I hope this recipe is a great addition to your Thanksgiving meal; why not make it a little bit healthier, if possible? You can scroll down to the bottom of the post to learn more about Sara + the inspiration behind this column... Take it away, Sara! I’ve been on a quest for a sugar-free cranberry sauce for quite some time. Cranberries are tough because they are so tart that they almost need the sugar to balance out the flavors. But notice that I said “almost;" I finally created one (I combined several recipes to come up with this completely original one!) that stands alone without sugar. The added fruit and fruit juices balance out the cranberries perfectly. Can you tell I’m excited about this one? Enjoy! Sugar-Free Cranberry Sauce Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 20 minutes Serves: 6-10 Ingredients:

MEET SIMPLY SUGARLESS: Each month, I’ll be scouring the internet and my own personal recipe box for simple, sugarfree recipes that you can make without a bunch of exotic (and expensive) ingredients. I’m not suggesting that all the recipes will be super healthy (we’re still talking about baked goods and sweets, people), but I promise the recipes highlighted will be *healthier* versions of delicious treats, yummy snacks, and long-time favorite eats. My goal here is to completely avoid refined white sugar and/or any of the artificial sweeteners that are usually present in sugar-free recipes. I’m also going to try my very hardest not to use any super-sugary syrup substitutes like honey and agave (although maple syrup and molasses might make a cameo every now and then because they have a few more beneficial qualities in the form of vitamins + minerals). And one final note: you’ll notice that the recipe is listed right at the top of this post. Does it drive anyone else crazy when you have to scroll down forever to reach the actual recipe on most websites? Hope this intentional formatting makes your life just a bit easier ;) MEET SARA:
Thanks so much, Sara, and happy Thanksgiving week, everyone!
