Possible Ingredient Alternatives
For a dairy-free alternative, coconut oil can replace butter in this recipe. Use the same amount of refined coconut oil at room temperature for a neutral flavor, or unrefined for a subtle coconut taste. Adjust salt to taste. Cranberry sauce can be substituted with pomegranate molasses for a tart, fruity flavor. Use about 2 tablespoons of pomegranate molasses, as it’s more concentrated than cranberry sauce. Honey can be replaced with maple syrup or agave nectar for different sweetness profiles. Use the same amount of either alternative, adjusting to taste if needed. These substitutions maintain the spread’s sweet and tangy profile while accommodating various dietary needs.
