Yield: 24 servings
Calories: 7kcal
I created this keto cranberry sauce because I wanted a low-carb alternative to the traditional version, allowing me to enjoy the festive flavors without compromising my dietary goals.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces (340 g) cranberries, washed
- 1 cup (74 g) powdered sugar-free sweetener, Lakanto, recommended
- ¾ cup (177 ml) water
- 1 teaspoon (3 g) orange zest, optional
- 1 cinnamon stick, optional
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract, optional
Instructions
- Add Ingredients - In a medium pan, add cranberries, sweetener, water, orange zest, and cinnamon stick.
- Simmer Sauce - Bring sauce to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook, occasionally stirring, until the cranberries pop and the mixture thickens to a jam consistency, about 13 to 15 minutes.
- To Serve - Taste the sauce and add more sweetener if desired. Discard the cinnamon stick. Turn off the heat and stir in the vanilla. Cool the sauce before serving.
