Notes
- Sweeteners: Be sure to use a powdered sweetener to prevent your sauce from crystallizing. Alternatively, you can use allulose--either granulated or powdered. Xylitol isn't as low-carb, but it will not crystallize.
- You can use other sweeteners as you like, but using a combination of sweeteners gives the best result.
- 1 dash of stevia extract is about 1/32 of a teaspoon, which is equivalent to about 2 tablespoons of most other sweeteners.
- Money Saving Tip: Buy cranberries on sale right after the holiday and store them in the fridge. They're great for this recipe, for this Homemade Cranberry Juice and this Cranberry Smoothie Bowl too.
