Ingredients

  • 12 oz cranberries fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup Swerve Sweetener
  • zest of ½ orange
  • 1 cup of water
  • ½ teaspoon ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon unflavored gelatin (optional)
  • ½ tablespoons Torani Sugar Free Raspberry Syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a sauce pan.
  2. Cook on medium for about 10 minutes or until the berries pop and the mixture thickens.
  3. Stir every once in awhile.
  4. When thickened, take off the burner and refrigerate until ready to use.

    If you wish to make it sweeter, you can add a bit more Swerve sweetener or I really like adding a bit of Torani sugar free raspberry syrup. 

  5. For a jellied cranberry sauce, sprinkle 1 Tablespoon of unflavored gelatin (I use Great Lakes Gelatin- red canister) over berries a little at a time and mix as you go so the gelatin doesn't clump.

  6. When gelatin is dissolved, take off the heat and refrigerate for 4 hours to gel the sauce.
