My Thanksgiving meal wouldn’t be complete without cranberry sauce. It’s one of my favorite holiday sides! I had several people message me asking if I had a keto cranberry sauce recipe, so I thought I would share one here on the blog. If you love cranberry sauce as much as I do, then you will be happy to see how easy it is to make. I also have several other side options here that you can check out if you are looking for ideas.

This is basically like any other traditional cranberry sauce recipe, except I use powdered erythritol (this is the brand I use) instead of sugar. In place of orange juice or zest, I use orange extract and add in a little vanilla extract as well. It turned out perfect and will be the perfect addition to your holiday meal!
