Equipment

  • sauce pan
  • Rubber Spatula

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces cranberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 3 ounces water
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest (zest of 1 orange)
  • 162 grams allulose sweetener (about ¾ cup, or to taste)
  • 1 ounce orange juice, fresh squeezed

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, add cranberries, water, and orange zest. Add to the stove over medium heat, and simmer for about 5-10 minutes, until cranberries begin to pop.
  • Add in sweetener, and freshly squeezed orange juice, and stir constantly with a rubber spatula to dissolve the sweetener. Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to thicken.
  • Serve with more orange zest, and fresh thyme if desired. Serve and enjoy!
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days. Allow to come to room temperature before freezing, and store in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 6 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.

Notes

  • Keep in mind that the cranberry sauce will thicken more as it cools. 
  • Sweeten to taste. add more or less sweetener if desired.
  • Use your preferred sugar-free sweetener, but be aware that sweeteners other than allulose will crystallize when they cool. 
  • To freeze, allow to cool completely at room temperature, then freeze for up to 6 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge. 
  • Feel free to food process or blend the cranberry sauce for an ultra-smooth texture. 
  • Add in lemon juice and zest instead of orange juice and zest if you like. You can also add things like fresh thyme, rosemary, or sage, cinnamon or other warm spices, vanilla, or even orange extract.
