Recipe Card
Water: You’ll need ¼ cup of water. Some recipes call for orange juice, but water works fine. Sugar-free sweetener: Powdered erythritol or stevia. I usually use stevia glycerite. Vanilla extract: Please use the real thing - pure vanilla extract. Fresh cranberries: I use a standard 12-ounce bag. You can use frozen cranberries if that’s more convenient.
Your first step is to add water, sweetener, and vanilla to a medium saucepan. Add the cranberries. Heat the mixture over medium heat, bringing it to a simmer. Lower the heat to medium-low. Remove from the heat and chill to let the sauce thicken, then serve. It’s also excellent as a topping for keto cheesecake, frozen yogurt, keto ice cream, and coconut flour pancakes.
