Should I use fresh or frozen cranberries to make sauce?

Either will work. The frozen cranberries will just take longer to heat and soften so add additional time to this recipe.

Is Cranberry Sauce the same as Cranberry Relish?

No. Cranberry sauce is cooked and much sweetener than cranberry relish.

Are cranberries allowed on a keto diet?

Yes! Although you would think with their bright red colour that they would not be, cranberries are low in sugar and high in fiber making them suitable for a keto diet.

Are Cranberries healthy?

Yes! Cranberries are high in fiber and vitamin C and also contain manganese which helps to boost your metabolism!

Are dried cranberries keto-friendly?

Dried cranberries are very concentrated and therefore contain quite a bit of sugar. Also, most dried cranberries have added sugar so I would definitely check the ingredient list and only eat dried cranberries in moderation.

Do I make the jello first and then add it to the cranberry sauce?

No. You are simply adding the powder to the cranberry sauce. Do not follow the recipe on the box.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine the water, cranberries and 1/2 cup sweetener. Heat on medium-high heat until the cranberries begin to burst (you will actually hear them pop!) and soften.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and mash the cranberries with a potato masher (or use an immersion blender for a smoother cranberry sauce).
Sprinkle the sugar-free orange jello package over the cranberry sauce and whisk to incorporate. Taste the sauce and add additional sweetener to suit your taste.
Pour the cranberry orange sauce into a serving dish and allow it to cool to room temperature before covering it and placing it in the fridge.

Notes

feel free to add 1-2 tbsp of orange juice or pieces of orange - there are only 7 calories and 1.3 grams of sugar per tablespoon of orange juice.
