THANKSGIVING CRANBERRY SAUCE (DIABETIC)



Thanksgiving Cranberry Sauce (Diabetic) image

I got this recipe in response to a request on the diabetic forum from LARavenscroft. I just made this for my DH for Thanksgiving. It is so easy to make and looks like a whole berry sauce. This is the simplest of homemade cranberry sauces - no spices, no orange peel, nothing extra. It is about the thickness of pudding. Use it not only only with turkey, but to put over yogurt or ricotta cheese for breakfast or a snack, or accompanying cheeses and nuts as a dessert.

Time 17m

Yield 2 1/4 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (12 ounce) bag fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar substitute, like Splenda, choose one that equals 1 cup of regular sugar
1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Put cranberries in a pot on the stove, and pick through to remove soft and/or brown ones.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients, stir, and bring to a boil on medium-high heat.
  • Stir frequently - the cranberries will pop, and then release their "gel" and the sauce will come together like magic. This takes about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let cool completely before refrigerating.

This is a New England-style whole cranberry sauce that has been lightened up to be more diabetic friendly. I found a maple flavored agave nectar to make this with. This also uses Splenda brown sugar blend. Can be made several days in advance.

Categories     Low Protein

Time 13m

Yield 2 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2/3 cup water
2 cups fresh cranberries or 2 cups frozen cranberries
1 cup Equal sugar substitute (or 24 packets Equal sugar substitute or 7 1/4 teaspoons Equal sugar substitute)

Steps:

  • Combine water and cranberries in a medium saucepan. Bring just to boiling; reduce heat.
  • Boil gently, uncovered, over medium heat 8 minutes, stirring occasionally (skins will pop).
  • Remove from heat mash slightly.
  • Stir in Equal; cover and chill.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter, tarter flavor than frozen or canned cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, frozen cranberries are a good option.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries: Overcooked cranberries will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they burst and become soft.
  • Add some sweetness: Cranberries are naturally tart, so you'll need to add some sweetness to the sauce. You can use sugar, honey, maple syrup, or another sweetener of your choice.
  • Add some spices: Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves will add a warm, festive flavor to the sauce. You can also add other spices like ginger, allspice, or cardamom.
  • Make it ahead of time: Cranberry sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This makes it a great dish to make for Thanksgiving or other holiday gatherings.

Conclusion:

Cranberry sauce is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It's a classic Thanksgiving dish, but it can also be served with other holiday meals or even everyday meals. With its bright color and tart flavor, cranberry sauce is a surefire way to add some festive cheer to your table.
