Happy Cranberry Day! SCD Cranberry Sauce

A lot of people refer to Thanksgiving as Turkey Day, but I like to think of it as Cranberry Day. The cranberries are pretty much the star of the show, as far as I'm concerned.  They go so well with everything on the table - I like to have a little bit of them in every bite.  I love them so much, that I once spent an entire summer going by the name Cranberry when we had to choose camp names at Girl Scout camp.  My husband and daughter are also crazy for cranberries and always hang around to lick the pot when I'm done cooking them.  So my Thanksgiving post is about the cranberry sauce.  This is how I make it SCD-friendly:

2 pounds cranberries
2 cups apple cider
1 cup (or to taste) honey
A few strips of orange peel
Tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves

Wash the berries and put them in a big pot with the apple cider.  Bring them to a boil and let them boil until they start to pop open.  Don't stand too close or you might get hot cranberry juice in your face as they pop.  Lower the temperature to medium-low and add the honey, spices and orange peel.  I don't actually measure the honey so I'm just guessing on the amount.  I just keep adding and tasting until it's the sweetness I like.  Let it simmer, stirring occasionally for about half an hour until the sauce is thick.  Let it cool and serve at room temperature.
