Ingredients

16 ounces whole cranberries
30 drops liquid stevia (adjust to taste)
1 Tablespoon Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener (10 grams)
¼ teaspoon pure almond extract
½ cup water
6 drops Orange Young Living Vitality Essential Oil or Tangerine Young Living Vitality Essential Oil (optional)
2 pieces orange rind (optional)

Instructions

In a large saucepan, combine water and granulated monk fruit sweetener and heat over medium until sugars are dissolved.
Add cranberries and your 2 large pieces of orange rind (optional). Bring to a boil over medium high heat. You will hear cranberries begin to "pop". Reduce heat to medium low so that the cranberry mixture retains a simmer. Stir every minute or so to ensure even heating.
Simmer for 20 - 25 minutes until mixture is thickened. Turn off heat and remove pan from any hot heating surface.
Slowly stir in almond extract, liquid stevia and 6 drops of Young Living's Orange or Tangerine oil (optional).
Taste test once cooled and stir in additional stevia drops if more sweetener is needed for your family's tastes. We like ours slightly tart!
Let cool and store in a GLASS container for up to 1 week in your refrigerator.

Notes

This recipe is fairly flexible I tend to under sweeten to begin with as I've had it turn out too sweet. If you need to sweeten it a little more once it is already finished, just add a few more stevia drops and stir in.

IMPORTANT

For Orange or Tangerine Young Living Essential Oil -- DO NOT USE ANY OTHER BRAND. ALWAYS READ LABELS and check for Do Not Ingest or Do Not Take Internally

Young Living Essential Oils are the only ones we trust to take internally. I would not recommend any other brand currently on the market.
