What is Cranberry Sauce made of?
Because of the tartness of the cranberries, cranberry sauce is made of cranberries and sugar. Often other ingredients are added like orange juice, cinnamon, almonds, ginger, and maple syrup.
Is Cranberry Sauce good for you?
Cranberries are full of antioxidants. Antioxidants work to protect your body from free radicals. Free radicals contribute to many health problems. So antioxidants help protect your body from many health problems.
However, the amount of sugar in the cranberry sauce can take away some of the health benefits. Substituting maple syrup will help some.
