Bariatric Recipe: Cranberry Sauce

Jellied cranberry sauce is a Thanksgiving favorite that you probably love, but this high calorie holiday offering isn’t on the list of approved foods. However, you can enjoy a reduced sugar Cranberry Sauce with the recipe below. The great taste will have your taste buds smiling in no time.

Ingredients:

One cup of Water

One twelve ounce package of Fresh Cranberries

One cup of granulated Splenda or similar Sugar Substitute

One Cinnamon Stick

Two tablespoons of Fresh Grated Orange Zest

First, pour the cranberries into a strainer; rinse and strain. Bring the cup of water to a boil using a medium size saucepan. Add the cranberries and remaining ingredients and bring to a boil again before reducing heat to simmer, approximately eight to ten minutes or until the cranberries have burst open.

Remove the saucepan from heat and retrieve the cinnamon stick, allowing the sauce to cool completely in the refrigerator. This delectable and healthy cranberry sauce will thicken as the temperature drops. You may also serve this sauce warm, if desired.
