# Pineapple Cranberry Sauce with Chia Seeds ~ Date Sweetened
# Ingredients
* ⅔ cup Deglet Noor dates,* chopped (remove any stems or pits and chop into ½ inch cross sections before measuring) * ¾ cup water (divided) * 12 oz fresh cranberries (3 cups) * one 8 oz can crushed pineapple * ½ tsp allspice * 3 Tbs chia seeds
# Instructions
1. Create a date smoothie by placing chopped dates and ½ cup of water in the bowl of a blender or food processor. A high speed blender is best. A food processor or conventional blender may take a bit longer. Process dates with liquid ingredients until smooth. The mixture doesn’t need to be perfectly smooth—little specs of dates are fine 2. Place ¼ cup of water, cranberries, crushed pineapple (including juice), allspice and date smoothie in a medium-small sauce pan and heat over medium-high heat until the liquid starts to boil 3. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly for 15 to 20 minutes until all the cranberries have popped and the mixture has thickened. It’s ok to help the cranberries pop by squishing them with your stirring utensil (I like to use a large wooden spoon) 4. Remove from heat, stir in the chia seeds and allow sauce to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving 5. Cranberry sauce can be stored in the fridge in a sealed container for several weeks
# Notes
*Other types of dates are also okay, just be sure to remove pits and hard bits before slicing and measuring them
