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."

- 4
- Yields:
-
2 1/4 cups
- Serves:
- 6
ingredients
- 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
directions
- 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.

Made this yesterday for thanksgiving....I loved being able to have cranberry sauce this year. Thank you! -
Made this specifically for a diabetic friend of mine, & although I'd have liked to jazz it up a bit (with, yes, nuts & orange & things like that!), he really liked it as is & requested the recipe! In my book you've got a nice enough sauce, but in his, YOU'VE GOT A REAL WINNER! [Tagged, made & reviewed in the Diabetes Awareness Month Tag Game]

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
