Traditional cranberry sauce recipes often call for quite a lot of added sugar, which makes sense given that cranberries only contain 4 grams of natural sugar per cup and sorely need something sweet to offset their tartiness. Sugar helps balance this out, turning those beautiful little tart red berries into something edible; but for this recipe we are ditching its empty calories and carbs altogether!
Substituting for regular sugar with our favorite zero-calorie, sugar-free sweetener: SPLENDA(r) Stevia Sweetener is 100% all natural and tastes just like real sugar; made with an extract rich in Rebaudioside D (Reb D). Stevia leaves are known for their sweet and delicious flavor due to the extract Rebaudioside (Reb-A). Unfortunately, many other stevia products use Rebaudioside instead which may leave an unusual bitter aftertaste that some find unpleasant. SPLENDA Stevia is non-GMO and free from artificial flavors, colors or preservatives – perfect if you’re low-carbing, ketoing, paleoing or diabetic but want some sweetness in your life. Plus it makes an easy everyday solution for sweetening coffee, tea, ice-tea or lemonade! Below we offer more details on where and which sizes it comes available for sale. Now onto its sauce!
