Description
A delicious low-carb and sugar-free cranberry sauce perfect for your keto diet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup erythritol or your preferred low-carb sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Rinse the cranberries under cold water and remove any stems or damaged berries.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the water, erythritol, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, add the cranberries and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Transfer the cranberry sauce to a serving dish or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to enhance the flavors.
Notes
- For a spicier flavor, add a pinch of ground ginger or cloves during cooking.
- You can also substitute half of the water with orange juice for a citrus twist while keeping it low-carb by using a low-carb sweetener.
