That turkey your making *needs* some homemade cranberry sauce to compliment it. Sure you could buy a can of the stuff, but homemade is so much better and builds family traditions. I remember making homemade cranberry sauce with my grandma very Thanksgiving.

This recipe is a healthy version using honey instead of sugar. It comes from Nikki & David Goldbeck's best-selling American Wholefoods Cuisine. You can find ideas for a complete vegetarian Thanksgiving meal on their website HERE.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cranberries
• ½ cup apple juice
• ½ cup honey
• 1 teaspoon grated or minced orange rind, preferably organic

Directions:

1. Combine cranberries, apple juice and honey in a saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes, until berries pop.
2. Remove from heat and stir in orange rind.
3. Cool to room temperature, then chill in a covered container.

*Can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks.
