Tips For Making Homemade sugar free Cranberry sauce without sugar

  1. Add the allulose and water to a heavy bottom saucepan and heat until just boiling. Stir gently and try not to get any allulose up on the sides of the pan.
  2. Add cleaned and rinsed cranberries to the saucepan.
  3. Allow the mixture to come to a rolling boil and then turn the temperature down to low.
  4. Simmer for 10 minutes more or until the cranberry sauce is thickened and glossy, as in the photograph below.

No need to skip the cranberry sauce this holiday season. Since this sauce tastes so good and has barely any carbs per serving, pile it on your plate. I LOVE this sauce on a turkey sandwich with low carb bread; It’s an absolute delight.
