This is a wonderful sugar-free version of classic whole berry cranberry sauce.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon ThickenThin not/Sugar thickener
• 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
• 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
• Sweetener equivalent to 1/2 cup sugar, or to taste

   

Directions

Makes generous 1/2 cup sauce.

1. Put water in a small pot and bring to a boil.

2. Remove from heat and add ThickenThin not/Sugar thickener, cranberries, and zest.

3. Return to heat and simmer until berries pop open - about 10-15 minutes.

4. Remove from heat and allow sauce to cool.

5. Add sweetener. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

NOTES: Sugar-free cranberry sauce will not keep as long as the high-sugar kind because sugar acts as a preservative. However, if refrigerated, it will last at least a week, usually more.
