Sugar-free Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry sauce was a staple at our Thanksgiving table when I was a kid, though it usually came out of a can. One day when I was a little older, I read the ingredients on the can and found out it had about 1 cup of sugar in it. I nearly fell over. That’s when my mom and I decided to start making it from scratch with stevia. I couldn’t believe how delicious and healthy it was.

I hope you enjoy the recipe as much as I do. Keep in mind that this is not as sweet as store versions. So at the end of cooking, feel free to add extra stevia if needed.

Ingredients
  • 1 bag fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup water
  • Juice and zest from one large orange
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • ½ teaspoon Kal stevia  

Instructions
  1. Put cranberries, juice of the orange, and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  2. Keep on medium heat, stirring constantly until the cranberries start to explode (about 10-15 minutes).
  3. Reduce to a simmer. Add the zest of the orange, grated ginger and stevia over the cranberry mixture.
  4. Simmer covered for another 10-15 minutes and remove from heat.
  5. Cool completely and store in fridge at least 2 hours but preferably overnight before serving.
