Kick the can and Make your own Jalape\u00f1o Cranberry Sauce.

First off canned Cranberry Sauce is a total sugar bomb containing 28 carbs most coming from high fructose corn syrup in a \u00bc cup serving. My recipe has 3 net carbs, \u2154 less calories and contains no added sugar. If that\u2019s not reason enough, you can also impress your family and friends by making a fresh healthy version of this thanksgiving staple. The spicy kick of fresh jalape\u00f1o balanced with apple cider vinegar and lemon juice gives the cranberry sauce a tangy freshness. Sweetened with Allulose instead of sugar keeps the flavor but ditches the carbs. More on allulose later.

Tart, Sour and Sweet
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The key to making a delicious homemade cranberry sauce is finding the balance of tart, sour and sweet. Cranberries are obviously incredibly tart, almost to strong on their own. Lemon Juice is where you\u2019re sour flavor comes from and acts as a counter balance to the cranberry. To tame those strong flavors we need to bring sweetness to the party. If you wanted to take a paleo approach you could use raw honey for this recipe as a natural sweetener. Though higher in sugar and carbs it\u2019s a much healthier option than corn syrup.

I chose to use Allulose<\/a> for this recipe because it\u2019s derived from actual sugar but is not metabolized in the body. Everyone  has different tastes so when you\u2019re preparing this recipe be sure to taste it after you\u2019ve added the ingredients. If it\u2019s not sweet enough feel free to adjust the amount of sweetener. If the sauce is too sweet some extra lemon juice or apple cider vinegar will help balance it out
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in w\/ Allulose 
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Allulose is fairly new to the keto friendly sweetener game. If you\u2019re looking for a low carb sweetener that doesn\u2019t contain sugar alcohols than Allulose may be an option for you. Allulose is actually naturally found in different fruits but in trace amounts. This sweetener has about 70% the sweetness of sucrose but has a glycemic index of zero. Another advantage of Allulose is that it doesn\u2019t have the cooling aftertaste that erythritol has. Many fans of Allulose claim that they don\u2019t have bloating or gastrointestinal distress using this product unlike some others. For me I found it to be very tasty as an ingredient and didn\u2019t experience any bloating. Give it a try if you\u2019re looking for an alternative low glycemic sweetener.

Leftover Cranberry Sauce makes Amazing Mayonnaise!!

Cranberry sauce is a wonderful condiment that reminds us of the holiday season but the next day it\u2019s just something taking up space in the fridge. That\u2019s when my creative side kicks in and I Re-purpose the sauce and turn it into a flavorful mayo to enjoy with my leftover turkey. Simply place your favorite mayonnaise along with your leftover cranberry sauce in a Mini Mason Jar <\/a>and pulse it a few times with a Stick Blender<\/a>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use this Jalape\u00f1o Cranberry Mayo on all sorts of things including a fantastic base to make turkey salad or make a Turkey Bacon Swiss Hand roll using Cutdacarb Flatbread<\/a>. I love flavored mayonnaise and this is one of my favorites because of the tart sweetness it adds to anything you put it on.
