Ingredients
- 12 oz fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup erythritol, monk fruit, or preferred keto sweetener (to taste)
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon orange zest (optional)
- 1 cinnamon stick or 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cranberries, water, sweetener, and cinnamon stick (if using).
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cranberries will pop and the sauce will thicken.
- Stir in orange zest, vanilla extract, and salt. Simmer for 1–2 more minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
- Serve warm or chilled as desired.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness after cooking if needed—taste as it cools.
- Use a stick blender if you prefer a smoother consistency.
- Add cloves, nutmeg, or ginger for a spiced version.
- Store in the fridge for up to 10 days or freeze for longer storage.
