A Thanksgiving or Christmas raw food cranberry sauce recipe. The raw food version of this holiday classic will have you singing raw's praises. If you don't have oranges on hand or just prefer to omit the flavor, replace the orange juice with water, (you may wish to add another date for the sweetness).
