How to Make Thanksgiving Cranberry Sauce Diabetic

  1. Combine 12 ounces fresh cranberries, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 cup sugar substitute (e.g., Stevia, Erythritol) in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened to a pudding-like consistency, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely before serving. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
  5. Enjoy your delicious and healthy cranberry sauce!
