Refined Sugar-Free Cranberry Sauce is sweet and tart. Needless to say, it is on every Thanksgiving Day table. Not to mention, it is a great Fall food to dress up a dessert. Use to top ice cream, pancakes, waffles, or better yet crepes with this sauce. Consequently, t is the perfect accompaniment to chicken or turkey, as a matter of fact, it is perfect to add to any Thanksgiving table.
Needless to say, I have never really liked eating the same thing time and time again. My family can ask for something and I’ll say “We just had that.” They say four to 6 months ago doesn’t count. However, to me it does. Moreover, I love the variety and being in my kitchen creating new recipes. First, I have to decide on what protein we are going to have. Nevertheless, sometimes an idea hangs out for a couple of months or a couple of weeks in my brain before it actually comes to fruition. Honestly, I won’t lie it doesn’t always turn out. In conclusion, this recipe just came together and it works. Hence, my son said you should put this on your blog. In any case, I hope you like it as much as my family did.
At any rate, I made this cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving of the year I went refined sugar-free. Incredibly, I have been able to find monk fruit sweetener at a couple of local stores as well. Use in my Gluten-Free Cranberry Pumpkin Tier Cake. I have had to revamp the recipe as the monk fruit sweetener crystallized. Hence, I add real maple syrup.
