Default Sugar Free Cranberry Sauce

Somebody either here or on the other newsgroup said that they bought this.
I can't remember who said it. I tried looking online and can only see some
with maltodextrin that has 3g of carb per Tablespoon. No point in that IMO.
Anyway... To whoever it was that posted about it... What kind do you get
and where do you get it?

I did try making it at home and the results were nasty. Thanks!

I always make my own with Splenda or Nutrasweet and it works for me. I
can eat a nice serving and not spike When I hae some left I use it on
Wasa Crackers or low carb bread as jam. Since it only cooks for a very
short time(untll the berries burst) the Nutrasweet does not loose its
sweetness adn chemically change.

I tried both and the color was off-putting.

I find no difference in the color of the regualr and the sugar free
cranberry sauces I have made over the years. What did you do to get a
different color?

Same here. I make it all the time. One cup of water, one cup of Splenda
and 3 cups of whole cranberries. I grate in a tad of nutmeg, too. Color
is no different than the sugar version.

DH really likes it so when cranberries are in season, I buy a few of the
big bags and put them in the deep freeze.

For you gals in the Northeast, Chatsworth, NJ has a Cranberry festival
every year around this time. There you can buy dry-harvested cranberries
which freeze better. When I lived up north I would buy them for us and
for my mom who was also Diabetic. We'd stock our freezers.

Yes, I've never noticed any difference in taste or color either.

either old sweetener or you were cooking it too high, i am not a good cook
and DH doesn't like cranberry anything, so i mix a half cup of splendia and
water and let that sit, then i put the berries in another half cup of water
bring to a boil and when the start to burst is when i add the splenda when
it comes back to the boil i turn it off and cover, let it sit on stove until
you are ready to serve, Lee

: Mine had a weird pink froth to it.

I never had that, although you can get that when making jams. You can
remove it or jsut stir it back in and it doesn't show up in the jam jars.
Maybe you cooked it too long, as it is a short cook, just until most of
the berries have popped or slit open.

Yeah, mine did that, too, but it tasted fine to me.

I make it with erithrytol and freeze containers of it. That reminds me.
I should remember to get extra cranberries at Th'ing and make a lot in
advance.

It doesn't look exactly like the sugared kind (more pinkish than deep
red), but it tastes fine. I use less sweetener than the equivalent of
the sugar the recipe calls for, but then I use less sugar when I make
the sugared kind for my relatives, too.

Yeah, the pinkish color really put me off. But it didn't taste very good
either and the texture wasn't right.
