Description:

This delightful Sugar Free Cranberry Sauce is perfect for those with dietary restrictions, especially for diabetic friends during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. It’s a quick and easy recipe that’s both healthy and delicious, ensuring everyone can enjoy the festive feast guilt-free! Originally sourced from an Equal recipe card, this sauce bursts with the tartness of cranberries without the added sugars.

Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup water
• 2 cups fresh cranberries
• 1 cup frozen cranberries
• Equal sugar substitute

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:

   • Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and drain them properly.
   • Measure out the required amounts of water, fresh cranberries, frozen cranberries, and Equal sugar substitute.

2. Cook Cranberries:

   • In a medium saucepan, combine the water and cranberries.
   • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
   • Allow the cranberries to boil gently for about 8 minutes; you’ll notice the skins popping as they cook.

3. Mash and Sweeten:

   • Once the cranberries are cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat.
   • Using a potato masher or the back of a spoon, gently mash the cranberries to your desired consistency. This step helps release their natural juices and creates a thicker sauce.
   • Stir in the Equal sugar substitute until it’s fully dissolved and evenly distributed throughout the sauce.

4. Chill and Serve:

   • Cover the saucepan and transfer it to the refrigerator to chill.
   • Allow the cranberry sauce to cool for at least a couple of hours before serving. Chilling it helps it thicken further and enhances the flavors.
   • Once chilled, transfer the sauce to a serving dish and garnish as desired. It’s now ready to be enjoyed alongside your favorite holiday dishes!
