Calories: 16kcal
Ingredients
- 10 oz Whole Cranberries I used frozen, but fresh works well. You can use up to 12 oz.
- 1 cup Water
- 1/2 cup Granular Sweetener
- 1/4 tsp orange extract optional, or 1 tbsp orange zest
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a medium sauce pan over medium-low heat.
- Stir to combine.
- Cook on medium heat until the cranberries pop (about 10 minutes).
- Allow the cranberry sauce to cool before using. It will thicken as it cools.
Notes
- Fresh cranberries: Use the same amount. They may take a few minutes longer to soften and burst.
- Sweetener: This recipe was tested with a granulated 1:1 monk fruit and erythritol blend.
- Orange flavor: Use orange extract or fresh orange zest, depending on what you have.
- Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to five days. The sauce will thicken more as it cools and chills.
