Why Cranberries?
Cranberries are those little Tart taste little berries with excellent benefits and the perfect addition to your dinner meal.
You hear the name Cranberries, and all you can think of is Thanksgiving.
In Uk, it is Christmas Dinner.
In my country, it is the second day of Christmas.
Cranberries for me is an Autumn time when lots of Wild Meat is being prepared and served.
Cranberries always come to mind, when I bake the cheese. It is just a must. You have to add them with your baked cheese.
You have to add them as a side dish with any Keto Meatballs.
Or a sliced Keto Dumplings Bread together with Keto Goulash, Wild Mead Stew and hot cranberries on the side.
It is a side dish, that can not be missed on the table.
For me, Cranberry’s time starts in August, when all of the markets in Slovakia are filled with fresh wild Blackberries and Cranberries. That is the time, I buy not 5 or 6, but straight 10 kilos of each and store them in the freezer for the whole year.
I add them to almost anything. Dehydrate them, bake with them, make jams and jellies. You name it. They have so many health benefits, that you do have to have a fridge filled with them.
Are Cranberries Keto?
Fresh Cranberries on its own have Tart like the taste and are hardly sweet. They contain 87% of water, a high amount of Fiber together with very little carbohydrates. This makes them a perfect Keto Ingredient to use for your cooking or baking.
Because Fresh Cranberries are pretty hard 95% of them are processed into either jams, juices, sauces or fillings.
How Many Carbs are in fresh Cranberries?
1/2 cup of whole fresh cranberries has only 23 calories, 4 grams of carbohydrates out of which 2 grams is fiber.
Isn’t that fabulous?
Let us slowly get to our Recipe
The Best Sweeteners for Keto Cranberry Sauce.
In my recipe, I have used the Brown Sugar substitute. My favorite is Sukrin, which I use most of the time, but the closest to it is also a Lakanto Sweetener.
Both of the brands have a Brown Sugar substitute and I have realized, with the method I am using they do not crystallize back.
Lakanto has been so
But I do know that not all of you have all of the different sweeteners at all times in the house. You can try and substitute those as well.
For any of the Keto Sauces, or sugar substitutes, you have to be a bit careful. Not all behave like real sugar.
For example, a Pure Erythritol is great for baking, but if you add it into some cooking dishes after it cools down, there is a possibility of it to crystalize.
You would always have to reheat the sauce or a dish for the crystals to melt.
One great way around it is to grind your sugar before you start using it.
Using the only erythritol – your sauce can recrystallize once it cools down.
The best is to either mix your sweeteners or use already premixed ones.
How to make Cranberries Sauce without Sugar
Ingredients you need:
- Cranberries
- Brown sugar substitute
- Water
Kitchen Gadgets you need:
The Process of Making the Best and fastest ever Keto Cranberry Sauce is so simple and easy, that I feel, it does not even deserve the section of the Steps. But I will add them anyway because you never know.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE THE BEST EVER KETO CRANBERRY SAUCE
First Step: Prepare Ingredients
Prepare all of the ingredients. It is not much, so it will not be a big problem. By having them on hand, you can add all one by one without the worry about forgetting something.
Second Step: Heat up the Brown Sugar
First goes heating up the brown sugar. Using low heat, let the sugar melt fully. Be careful not to overheat it, otherwise, your brown sugar will burn. And that can happen in seconds.
As I have already mentioned, I have used Sukrin Brown Sugar Substitute as well as Lakanto one. They both work perfectly with those steps.
Third Step: Add Cranberries
Once you see the brown sugar substitute almost all melted, quickly add Cranberries.
Fourth Step: Coat
Using a silicone spatula, gently coat all of the Cranberries with melted brown sugar.
Fifth Step: Add water
Once you have coated all of the Cranberries with Melted brown sugar, add a bit water and start cooking process.
Sixth Step: Cook
Let Cranberries cook together with water on a slow heat. Let them cook until cranberries start cracking (the best part). This takes approximately 10 minutes. Using a spatula, you can press on all of the Cranberries to crack them open and release the extra sauce.
That’s all. The Cranberry Sauce is done in 10 minutes and is fabulous. No need to add anything else, but if you still do, I have mentioned a few ideas below.
Also, do not worry if the Keto Cranberry sauce is not thick to your liking. It does thicken while cooling down. Also once stored in the refrigerator, the thickening process continues.
TIPS AND TRICKS
- If you do not have Brown Sugar, you can use a white alternative as well, but use powdered sweetener to prevent crystallization
- Use Hand Mixer at the end of the process to get rid of all the chunks and blend it all into one smooth puree Cranberry Sauce if that is what you are looking for.
- Add gelatine if you are looking for more regular can-like texture
Additional Flavors for Sugar-Free Cranberry Sauce
- Add Cinnamon and ground cloves for an additional festive flavor
- As original Cranberry sauces call for Orange Juice, you can swap that with orange zest or orange extract
- For a bit of spiciness add jalapeno peppers
- To make it fully festive, you can add a bit of hard alcohol like vodka, rum, brandy or whiskey
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
You certainly can, and that is what I make all the time. It is actually advisable to prepare Sugar-Free Cranberry Sauce ahead of time. Even a day or two beforehand. This will help in getting the keto Cranberry Sauce perfectly thick. All you have to do is reheat a bit before serving.
You can and it is a great option as well. As I have mentioned above, I do buy fresh cranberries in kilos and freeze to use throughout the whole year.
If you will use the frozen Cranberries for Keto Cranberry Sauce, make sure you add a bit less water. They are already filled with ice aka water while freezing and therefore you might need much less of it.
No worry, you have probably added a bit too much water. If you see, it is liquid only a
But if you do feel it is really liquid and you do know the amount of water was a bit too much, just let the cranberries cook a bit longer on low heat. This will help water to evaporate and the sauce will eventually thicken.
You can also add chia seeds into the sauce. Chia seeds thicken everything and are a great addition to use for jams or spreads. But I doubt you will need them. 
Once the Keto Cranberry Sauce has cooled down, place it into the Mason Jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
You can also use the canning method in the water bath to store them in a jar in your storage for up to a year or two.
You certainly can and that is how some families are serving it on a regular basis. We, for example, serve it cold always with goulash or a meat stew. The dishes are most of the time so hot, that cold Sugar-Free Cranberry Sauce will only complement the dish.
You certainly can. Stored in a Mason Jar or any glass Jar, you can store it in the freezer for later use for up to 6 months, maybe even a bit more.
