Your cranberry sauce was amazing today. It's always amazing.

It's one of those four-ingredient recipes that cannot be improved in any way. Just stellar.

Thank you for telling us about it!

I had it once but seems to have gone astray. Could you or someone else who has it, please repost it? Maybe someday I'll abandon this accursed KETO diet.

Ha!! Thank you!

This is the first year we didn’t make it. We didn’t have turkey this year.

Amanda, I’ll look for it when I am at my desktop computer tomorrow.

It’s somewhere on saved pages of WTF recipes.

It's the first recipe in the Thanksgiving recipe thread, which is in the Pinblock:

Cindy's Cranberry Sauce

Quirt's gonna have to eat the leftover cranberry sauce, alas.

I gave myself one day of carbs...until my birthday next week...

Many thanks, Mary Anna (and for the whole thread!)

Re the cranberry recipe, it occurs to me that I ought to be able to substitute erythritol for sugar (!!!)

Amazon carries several brands, including Lakanto's monk fruit (so-called, but really mostly erythritol - FWIW the only sugar alcohol that is NOT absorbed in the intestine). I love it, somehow preferring the "gold" flavor. To me it tastes just like sugar, and can be used in cooking.

It might work better in a powdered texture in this sauce, but as long as the Lakanto granular kind dissolves it ought to work well.

I checked the net carbs in cranberries themselves, and see there are about 10 per - raw - cup (subtracting the fiber). This is not perfect, but it would be a LOT better than having to forego it altogether. (No, Bourbon is not calorie-free but has NO carbs - the critical factor for keto-eaters.)

Just a word to the wise, for those suffering from Keto. I have found I need to really be careful about counting carbs. (The erythritol comes in an inexpensive sample size from Amazon. At this point, I order it at least three lbs at a time - so do sons.)
