Cranberry Sauce with a Crunch - an easy, healthy and tasty recipe for the holidays or anytime


It’s National Eat A Cranberry Day! With the holidays here be sure to add cranberries (which are high in vitamin C and anti-aging antioxidants) to your holiday meals and regular meals too. Here’s my recipe – it’s lower in sugar and high in omega 3s and antioxidants on top of it being delicious. 

Ingredients: 

One package of cranberries 
one cup of water
1/3 cup of sugar
1/3 cup of chopped walnuts
1/3 cup of chopped celery
