Sugar-free Cranberry Sauce

This sugar-free keto cranberry sauce is so good, you’d probably never tell this wasn’t the real thing.

INGREDIENTS

12 ounces fresh cranberries (3 cups, or 170 g)
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/3 cups Allulose
-OR-
3/4 cup granulated sweetener (Swerve or other erythritol, monk fruit)
-OR-
1/4 tsp pure white stevia powder (or to taste)

Optional add-ins:

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dash of ground nutmeg
Orange zest or orange extract drops (or both)
1 teaspoon liquid lemon or orange stevia

DIRECTIONS

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the cranberries, sweetener, and water.

Continue to cook until about 8 minutes, which is when the berries usually burst, they should be sauce at this point. If you like, you can mash them with a potato masher as well (I don’t).

Remove from heat, and stir in the stevia and any optional liquid flavorings or spices.

Let sit to cool until about room temperature, then serve immediately, or if you prefer it cold, chill hours in a covered container (it also firms up a bit more, chilled).

Leftovers freeze wonderfully. Just thaw in the fridge and serve.

Makes 1 1/2 cups.
