In the name of keeping it real: I’m just going to, well, keep it real.
I don’t like cranberry sauce. I prefer my cranberries in the form of cranberry gluten free paleo almond butter cookies or cranberry orange energy bites ????
Sure, I LIKE homemade cranberry sauce on my turkey and on my easy gluten free stuffing. But you know what I like better?
Ketchup.
And now you’re judging me and about to leave. That’s okay, more ketchup for me. <– Don’t worry, I only put ketchup on turkey not on gluten free stuffing. That I just leave plain Jane AS IS. No one messes with my carbs. Not even my love for ketchup.
BUT, Mr. FFF? He LOVES cranberry sauce so I have been wanting to try making a cranberry sauce without sugar so all my diabetic friends can enjoy it this Thanksgiving!
PLUS, I had to test the recipe A LOT, so now we have it coming out of our ears and I’ve had to be creative and find ways to enjoy it and I’m just telling you right now: put it in your oatmeal. You’re welcome.
Why you will LOVE This Cranberry Sauce
Cranberry sauce is a MUST HAVE on most Thanksgiving tables. Even though it’s not my preferred choice of dipping sauce deliciousness on my turkey and stuffing, it’s essential this time of year! You are going to LOVE this keto cranberry sauce recipe because it’s flavorful, easy to make AND is completely sugar free. That’s right, this keto friendly sauce is made using powdered erythritol which is a great sweetener substitute for regular granulated sugar!
Are Cranberries Keto?
You probably think no, since they are a fruit. But, cranberries are low in carbs and high in fiber which actually makes them keto friendly!
Not that I worry about keto, but a lot of you do. If that is you, I do highly recommend you check out my philosophy on food!
