his time of year it’s easy to let our sugar consumption get out of control. So in an effort to keep the sugar to a minimum, we’re revamping some of our favorite recipes to suit our sugar-free needs, without sacrificing flavor!
There’s something nostalgic about canned cranberry sauce. Is it the way it comes out of the can, yet retains the can shape? Or is it the super sweet, almost candy-like flavor? Whatever it is, cranberry sauce is a must have on my Thanksgiving dinner plate, and this year we’re skipping the canned version and subbing this homemade, sugar-free cranberry sauce instead. I’ll be indulging my “cranberry sauce with each bite” rule sans guilt, then enjoy the Cream Cheese Pumpkin Pie as well!
