When I was a kid, cranberry sauce on rolls was my favorite Thanksgiving treat. You know, that gelatinous blob of goo that slides right out of the can? Well, my tastes have matured quite a bit since then, and I love this homemade, tart, fresh and chunky low carb, keto cranberry sauce. Orange extract, orange zest and cinnamon bring a little extra flair to the dish.

Ingredients

  

• 1 c. water
• 1 1/2 c. granulated erythritol
• 12 oz. bag fresh cranberries
• 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. orange extract

Instructions

 

• In a saucepan, boil water and granulated erythritol approximately 5 minutes, stirring until erythritol is until dissolved.
• Add cranberries and cook another 10 minutes until cranberries burst, stirring often to keep from burning.
• Turn heat to low. Add cinnamon and orange extract. Simmer 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Stir in orange zest. Allow to cool, but do not chill. (See notes.) Sauce will thicken as it cools.

Notes

• Serve cool but not cold. Erythritol crystalizes when chilled in liquid.
• If you do store in the refrigerator, you can reheat to make it smooth again.
