Sugar Free Cranberry Sauce (Keto)
Description
Sugar Free Cranberry Sauce (Keto) begins with combining cranberries, a powdered sweetener substitute for sugar, water, and optionally brandy in a pot brought to a boil. Simmering on medium heat allows the cranberries to pop and the sauce to reduce and thicken as water evaporates. The cooked sauce will develop a bright, slightly chunky consistency typical of traditional cranberry sauce but without sugar.
The sauce balances the natural tartness of cranberries with the sweetness of the sweetener, creating a flavorful condiment suitable for low-carb or keto diets. Optional flavor variations include adding vanilla extract, cinnamon, or orange zest to adjust aromatics and depth.
This sauce makes about 6 servings of 2 tablespoons each, with approximately 7 grams net carbs per serving. It is a suitable alternative for those managing carbohydrate intake who want a festive cranberry addition.
Ingredients
- 12 oz cranberries 350g, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup powdered sweetener 150g (use ¾ cup if you prefer more tartness)
- 1 tablespoon brandy optional
- ¼ cup water 60ml
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a pot. Bring to the boil.
- Reduce to a medium heat and cook for around 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from the heat once the cranberries have popped and the liquid is reducing. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Notes
- Variations include adding 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon cinnamon or a cinnamon stick, or 1 tablespoon orange zest to enhance flavor.
- The sauce yields about 250 grams total and serves 6 portions of 2 tablespoons each.
- Using fresh or frozen cranberries is equally effective; frozen cranberries do not require thawing before cooking.
