This Low FODMAP Spiced Citrus Cranberry Sauce version is our “basic” cranberry sauce, and takes advantage of the fact that many fresh cranberries are packaged in 12-ounce (340 g) bags in the U.S. This sauce keeps for weeks in the refrigerator so consider doubling the recipe; it doesn’t really take any longer to make.
