SMART Cranberry Sauce plus 2 Sauces
This amazing cranberry sauce takes the original and really rethinks the flavor profile and in doing so eliminates almost all of the added sugar. In its place, we have included a gorgeous, sweet Portuguese Ruby Port, brightness from the zest and juice of a navel orange, a bite from fresh ginger, and a balancing of all the flavors with just a pinch of Sea Salt. It takes overly sweet, flat cranberry sauce and rethinks it with the flavors reminiscent of a fresh Sangria.
