Ingredients

4 cups cranberries, fresh or frozen
1 ¼ cups Monkfruit sweetener with erythritol, powdered
½ cup orange juice, unsweetened
zest from one organic orange or tangerine
1 pinch cinnamon
½ pinch ground cloves
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen (optional)

Instructions

Combine the cranberries, Monkfruit sweetener and orange juice in a medium pot.
Bring to a boil, then simmer until cranberries pop. Add blueberries, then remove from heat.
Stir in zest, cinnamon and cloves.
Cranberries contain lots of natural pectin so this sauce will thicken as it cools.
This sauce can be made up to a week in advance. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator.

Notes

This recipe makes 2 cups of cranberry sauce.

Regular Monkfruit sweetener doesn't dissolve as well as granulated sugar does and remains crystallized in the sauce. Grinding it in your blender, or using a powdered Monkfruit will solve this problem.
