it was delicious! I upped the honey a bit and added some agave too. I think it was even better for the fact that I made it on the weekend so it had time to mellow. Reading later comments, I wish I’d thought of adding a few dates, chopped up, instead.

Awesome! Thanks for the kind feedback. I love the tartness of a real cranberry sauce.

LOVE this! I added an apple to replace the coconut sap crystals and it finished with just the right amount of tartness. Thank you!

I would use slightly less than equal parts. I don’t think the sugar ingredients are completely necessary in this recipe. Cranberry sauce should be tart, yet most folks are accustomed to be it being sweet. That’s why this is one of the few recipes I added some honey and coconut crystals to. The use of an extra apple or pear could also work as a substitute. Let me know if you have any more questions!

Any thoughts on using date sugar to replace the coconut sap crystals?

Thanks for catching that too, fixed it up. I’d be hesitant to double the honey in the recipe, but you can always add another small pear or a green apple, and just a touch more honey. Even a bit more orange juice in place of them would work. This sauce is supposed to be tart and zesty, so the sweet component is nice but not entirely necessary. Let me know what you try and how it works out for you!

um, it looks wonderful, but I think you’ve reversed your cook times re low and high!
I will be making this although I haven’t any coconut sap crystals…any recommendations for a substitution?
thanks!
