    I don’t understand how this has 23 grams of sugar compared to other recipes that use sweetened dried cranberries and more maple syrup plus orange juice. Is the calculated sugar per serving accurate?? I’m comparing it to other recipes using more sugar sources that show much less sugar per serving??

      You are right! Something must have been entered incorrectly. I have fixed the recipe, it is 9g of sugar. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
