Cranberry Sauce

1 bag whole cranberries
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 cup water
2 tbsp honey
1 apple, diced small
2 tbsp cranberry lime flavored seltzer water
1 cup raisins

In a pot, cook the cranberries, sugar, honey and water until the cranberries start to pop, about 5-7 minutes. Add the diced apple and seltzer and cook for 15 more minutes, stirring often. Turn off the heat and add the raisins. Transfer to a 2-qt casserole dish and cool completely. It's best to let it sit in the fridge overnight before serving.

*After making this, you will never want to buy canned cranberry again. This cranberry sauce is so stinkin' easy to make and it comes out so sweet and tangy, you will just love it. If you can't find the flavored seltzer water, just use fresh lemon juice instead. This is a dish that you can make up to a week ahead of time because the longer it sits in the fridge, the better it gets. The one bad of cranberry does make a lot, so if you're not planning on having a lot of people, you can cut the recipe in half. This Thanksgiving, skip that canned stuff and try this...you will love it!

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23
