    Pineapple Cranberry Sauce: A Kid-Approved Recipe for the Holidays

    4
    By Alisa Fleming on November 7, 2018 Dairy-Free Recipes, Sauces

    This sweet, naturally dairy-free recipe for pineapple cranberry sauce was shared with us by Erica Waz over ten years ago. We’ve updated the post, but stayed true to her beloved recipe.

    It would be really easy to just purchase a few cans of the whole berry sauce, but I wanted something homemade that my children would enjoy. So I combined fresh cranberries with sugar and water and cooked until the berries had all popped and the sauce started to thicken on it’s own. Then I added the secret ingredients: a can of crushed pineapple and a pinch of salt. A little more cook time, and I had a beautiful bowl of deep red cranberry sauce — but would they eat it?

    Both children dug right in wholeheartedly. Their eyes were practically rolling back in their heads, they both liked it so much. When asked if we should have these cranberries for Thanksgiving, my daughter became worried and asked if they really had to wait that long to eat them again. I take that as a recommendation.

      I love your recipes Alisa and the little twist and ease of them all! And I love this one and how you used pineapple with the cranberry. I make my own sauce as well with oranges but I’d love to try this version.

        It is hard to beat cranberry orange, but this is a fun flavor twist!

      I cannot wait to try this!! I saw this on Facebook and instantly had to get the recipe. I’ve tried so many cranberries over the years since they’re a favorite but never with pineapple!!
