Ruff's Low Carb Cranberry Sauce

A simple stovetop cranberry sauce with a low-carb sweetener. Bright, tart, and done in about fifteen minutes of active cooking.

Yield About 1 batch (12 oz berries)
Time ~20 minutes
Difficulty Easy

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sucralose (e.g. Splenda)
  • 1 cup water
  • 12 oz cranberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest

When multiplying the batch, add lemon and lime zest instead of simply multiplying the orange.

Instructions

  1. Heat sucralose and water to boiling.
  2. Add the cranberries and zest, then bring back to a boil.
  3. Reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Cool, cover, and refrigerate.

Tips

  • Frozen cranberries work fine; no need to thaw first.
  • Sauce thickens further as it cools.
