yum cranberries!
my bladder hurt a bit so i normally use cranberry juice to fix it...but you
goto the "juice" isle and its all blends and cocktails with sugar and hfcs. So i bought a frozen bag of plain washed craberries put them in a blender with water liquid splenda a splace lemon juice and a tsp xylitol and erythritol. the entire blender contained 130 calories and after the fiber is counted maybe 12 net carbs..so i wasnt suprised when my 6 ounce glass didnt flicker my meter but did fix my bladder and was better tasting then those store juices. the rest of the blender i put in a tray in the freezer and made cranberry sorbet..even my wife likes it keeps stealing spoonfulls from the freezer..lol dunno why i hadnt thought of this before. i tried to make cooked one before using whole cranberries that wasnt very good. this was easy and i could see adding gelatin to make jelly .

I will try that. Also for bladder issues, the herb Uva Ursi is reputed to help.

i looked at that but its a blend of other juices too..i just wanted straight
cranberry...which has very little carbs and colories compared to the fiber in it. the entire bag was 100 calories and i drank and ate it for a couple days with zero bg raise..in fact pre juice i was runnign high prob due to infection..now im back to 80's and stable again.. but thats me..i cant say it will work for others.

I follow the recipe onthe bag of cranberries, substituting Splenda or whatever for the sugar and I add whole cloves and some sticks of cinnamon which I remove before serving, but keep in while the stuff is in the fridge for a few das before the holiday. I also grate in the thin orange part of the rind of an orange. Tasty stuff! Wendy |

I make something similar but I add a bit of chopped, candied ginger to the pot when I am cooking it. Fresh ginger might be just as good and no carbs. -- Evelyn "Even as a mother protects with her life her only child, So with a boundless heart let one cherish all living beings." --Sutta Nipata 1.8 |
