Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6 oz cranberries - fresh or frozen.
  • 6 oz raspberries - fresh or frozen.
  • 1/2 cup monkfruit
  • 1/2 cup orange juice - fresh preferred.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract - preferably pure extract.
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp Grand Marnier (optional)

Instructions

  • Measure out the cranberries and raspberries, and place them in a medium saucepan. Add the orange juice, monk fruit, vanilla extract, and salt, along with the Grand Marnier if you are using. Stir to combine.
  • Place the sauce pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, then reduce heat to medium.
    Simmer for approximately 10-15 minutes are until the cranberries have popped and the mixture is beginning to thicken. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  • Once cooked, remove the sauce pan from the heat and allow to cool in the pan to room temperature before storing.
    NOTE: If not all of the cranberries did not pop while simmering, you can use a fork to mash more, although I do like to keep some remaining cranberries whole for a lovely texture.
  • If you are not eating the sugar-free cranberry sauce right away, transfer the sauce into glass storage containers, and allow it to cool completely before covering and placing the cranberry sauce into the fridge.

Notes

How To Store
  • This healthy cranberry sauce will stay fresh in the fridge for approximately 5-6 days, if stored in a tightly sealed container, like a mason jar or any other type of glass storage container.
  • You can also freeze this sugar-free cranberry sauce as long as it is stored in a freezer-safe, airtight container.
  • Cranberry sauce will last in the freezer for approximately 2-3 months.
Tips For Success
  • You can use fresh or frozen cranberries and raspberries for this recipe. Either way works just fine but know that, if you use frozen, you will have to simmer the sauce a few minutes longer in order for it to thicken.
  • Using the Grand Marnier is optional. I like to add just a bit as it cuts the tartness of the cranberries but if you prefer not to use it that is perfectly fine too.
  • You can use regular white sugar, brown sugar, or even coconut sugar instead of monk fruit if you prefer not to use sugar substitutes.
