This low carb keto friendly Brandied “adult cranberry sauce” uses granulated erythritol instead of the traditional white sugar. You can make this up to a week ahead or freeze and then thaw the day before. Just four ingredients, super easy recipe – link in bio.
If you prefer orange flavor in your cranberry sauce swap the Brandy with Grand Marnier or Cointreau and add 2 tablespoons of grated orange zest.
We are all bio-individual some people react to sugar alcohols like erythritol. I do fine with them, but I only use them in moderation. If erythritol is not your jam substitute with your favorite sweetener to taste.
Low Carb Cranberry Sauce

Instructions
- Sort cranberries discarding any soft or decaying berries.
- Wash and drain the cranberries.
- In a medium saucepan combine cranberries, Swerve, Brandy, and water.
