This creative, raw-foods recipe is an alternative to cranberry sauce and is packed with layers of flavor. It is quick and easy to prepare and will spice up any holiday meal. If you want to make it paleo, you can substitute the brown sugar for a natural sweetener, like Grade B maple syrup, or brave the tartness and leave sweetener out altogether.

1 cup lime juice

2 cups brown sugar
