Ingredients

  • 12 oz fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1/2 cup granulated erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener)
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 tsp orange zest, finely grated
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine 12 oz fresh or frozen cranberries, 1/2 cup granulated erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener), 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/8 tsp salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens, about 10-12 minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp finely grated orange zest.

  4. 4

    Let cool to room temperature, then transfer to a jar or bowl. The relish will thicken further as it cools.

  5. 5

    Serve at room temperature or chilled. Store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.

Questions

Can I make Sugar-Free Cranberry Relish ahead?

Yes, it takes well to being made ahead. Sugar and vinegar are preservatives: in a clean sealed jar it keeps two to three weeks refrigerated.

Can I halve or double Sugar-Free Cranberry Relish?

Yes. As written it serves 8. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
