Hi carb Foods
Like many of you may be, I've been getting pee'd off over cranberry sauce. All the commercial vesions seem to be a bit carby for use over the festive season:arghh:
Answer, make your own!:nailbiting:
So startedwith a tray of cranberries, burst them in the microwave and added 3 cloves and a sueeze of lemon and the zest of a lemon and stewed them with 4 fl oz water, when tender, i removed the cloves andI blitzed them with a stick blender and sweetenrd the mixture to taste with stevia powder. The resulting puree was like a thin tomato puree in texture and smeared nicely on my gammon & chicken:cool:
The result was so well recieved that I have made another batch but this time with a couple opf chillies to give it a Zing :woot:
 
You've just reminded me that I could be making a low carb version too... I 'd forgotten about this essential part of my Christmas dinner! So thanks for your timely post!

When I used to be chief cook & bottle washer in our house I always cooked my own, but I used orange juice & zest and a cinnamon stick. I vaguely remember rum coming into it somewhere too! :D
