Skinny Cranberry Barbecue Sauce

I received a lovely package from Carton Smart with some great traditional foods you can get in cartons now. I have been curious about the change from cans to cartons, so was excited to share them with you. I recieved Pacific Foods Simply Stock, Pumpkin Puree and Jellied Cranberry Sauce. Pacfic Foods has lots of their food available in cartons!

I had seen the stock in cartons before, but I was very intrigued by the pumpkin puree and the cranberry sauce in cartons! Did you realize how many amazing food products for your holiday meals you can get in a carton?

What is Cool About Cartons?

Cartons are made from a renewable resource, neat & stackable (more room in your pantry), resealable, and more! I can always use more room in my pantry, love that! Learn more about cartons at Become Carton Smart.

What Did I Make?

I decided I really wanted to make a lighter version of a barbecue sauce with the Pacific Foods Jellied Cranberry Sauce. I love barbecue sauce, but sadly I can only have it every so often because it has so much sugar. I thought about the sweetness of cranberry sauce and thought it would make a great base for a BBQ sauce.

What an Awesome Gift!

I even jarred some of the barbecue sauce up as a gift for my mother in law. It last up to a week and a half in the fridge so might be a nice treat for a hostess that needs to use up any leftover turkey.  If you like to give gifts in a jar this is a recipe to pin!
