Vegan Cranberry Sauce

This cranberry sauce is part of my recipe for Sweet Orange Ricotta With Cranberry Compote, but because it also serves as such a deliciously simple Thanksgiving cranberry sauce, I figured it deserves its own post. Made from just four ingredients – fresh cranberries and orange juice, maple syrup, sugar – this gorgeous sauce takes just 15 minutes to prepare (plus chill time).
