10-Minute Savory Cranberry Relish Recipe: Less Sugar, More Flavor Sauces/Condiments Holidays Fruit

It's a shame that cranberry sauce is only served at the holidays. I love cranberry sauce, and my go to is always this two-ingredient cranberry sauce recipe. While delicious, the amount of sugar can alarm some folks. So in my venture to find a lower-sugar cranberry sauce recipe, I stumbled on this savory cranberry sauce made with honey instead of sugar.

The kicker here is the use of a teriyaki marinade, black pepper and lemon. This savory cranberry sauce complements that holiday turkey beautifully, but can also be used on chicken or pork, too. Get ready for recipe requests.
