Directions
Splenda Cranberry Sauce,I had this marvelous cranberry sauce about 5 years ago at a friends house. Since I have Diabetes, I substituted Splenda for an equal amount of sugar…you could switch back if you like. I love this recipe and make it every year at Thanksgiving. It’s best if you make it several days ahead to allow the flavors to blend. It’s a step above the “norm”.,Excellent recipe for Splenda or sugar substitute. I have two diabetics in my family so finding a sugar substitute based cranberry sauce recipe is important. I did make this recipe the regular way (without orange juice) and tried it. Family agreed flavors were too strong. I made the recipe again and reduced Splenda by 25%, no OJ but doubled water, cut ginger, cinnamon, and allspice amount by half, and omitted cloves. This made for a milder flavor and not the strong Splenda aftertaste. I am sure keeping the OJ would have altered the flavors, but that is a lot of added sugar that would defeat the purpose of a sugar-free cranberry sauce. I suggest you make this recipe in a small batch before you serve it to a large group so you can adjust flavors accordingly. You do need to wait at least a day so the flavors can merry before you can get an accurate taste. It you taste the day of you will be too overwhelmed by the flavors.,Normally i substitute sugar. But the amount called for is too much. use the bags of cranberries and the amount called for is less than 2 bags. But if you do a straight substitute of sugar and use BOTH bags (2 full bags), the spices are still adequate and there are enough cranberries to offset the called for sugar perfectly. Easy peasy!!
