Keto Cranberry Sauce
A recipe for a keto cranberry sauce that's sweet with a hint of tart and orange flavor. This will pair perfectly with turkey and your Thanksgiving Day dinner. Keep the carbs low during the holidays and still enjoy the dishes you love!
Ingredients
- 2 cup frozen or fresh whole cranberries
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/4 cup granulated sweetener
- 1/4 cup keto brown sugar sweetener
- 1/2 zested orange
- 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
- few drops of liquid sweetener (optional)
Instructions
- If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before starting the recipe.
- Combine your granulated and brown sugar sweetener together with your xanthan gum
- In a small pot on medium heat add in cranberries and water
- Add in orange extract and zest 1/2 an orange in the pot as well
- Continue to cook until cranberries begin to pop. Start to stir. This popping takes about 5 minutes to start happening from start to finish.
- Once they start to pop add in sweetener, xanthan gum mix and quickly stir. Be fast about it because the xanthan gum will clump up if you don't move fast enough.
- Remove from heat. Here you want to test if it's sweet enough for you because sweetness will vary from fruit to fruit. If its not sweet enough this is where you want to add a few drops of concentrated sweetener a little at a time. I used roughly 1/4 tsp in mine.
- Allow to cool then serve or store for later. Note, if using a keto sweetener with erythritol, it will crystalize when it cools causing the sauce to have a crunch to it when eating.
