Ingredients
2 cups

pitted dates ((medjool if available/affordable)) 1⁄2 cup
water (may need more water to pot as it evaporates) 2 tablespoons
fresh lemon juice 1⁄2 teaspoon
cinnamon 1⁄8 teaspoon

Instructions
- Soak dates in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain and chop.
- Stir all ingredients together in a saucepan over low heat.
- Bring to a simmer, and cook for a few minutes, stirring frequently, until the cranberries pop and the sauce thickens.
- You can use a fork or potato masher to break up the chunks. It's not necessary, it's a personal preference for chunky or smooth. You can also blend it.
- Adding water and cooking down adds sweetness.
