THANKSGIVING CRANBERRY SAUCE (DIABETIC)
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.

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.
DIABETIC CRANBERRY SAUCE
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.

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.
