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 Meat 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.

As a great company, Lakanto is offering to all of our readers 20% of ALL of their Products using a Coupon Code: LOWCARB-NOCARB.

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.

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
