Looking for a keto-friendly Thanksgiving cranberry sauce recipe that is easy and flavorful? Look no further.
Cranberry sauce is one of my all-time favorite condiments even when it’s not holiday season! Typically though a serving of traditional cranberry sauce can contain upwards of 22 grams of sugar, that’s crazy.
This keto cranberry sauce has a tiny fraction of that and is spiced with fresh oranges and spices like clove and cinnamon.
Serve this healthy low-carb cranberry sauce with your holiday meal and I guarantee no one will be able to tell the difference. It’s perfect on your holiday turkey but I even love it on taco bowls, trust me. A bit of cauliflower rice with grilled steak, squash, and kale this makes a perfect “harvest” style bowl you will love!
Step-by-step
Place the cranberries in a medium pot and heat over a medium heat.
Add the Swerve, cinnamon, salt, cloves, orange zest and orange juice.
Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries are broken down and the sauce is thick.
Transfer to a bowl and serve. To store, place in a lidded container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week. This sauce also freezes really well, simply freeze in a freezer safe container and reheat on the stove top for 5-10 minutes.

I've just made your recipe for spiced orange cranberry sauce and though I didn't use the orange juice I added about 1/2 tsp of orange extract along with all the zest from the orange. In all my years of making cranberry sauce (more than 65!) I've never added cloves, and to my surprise, I've just learned how much depth of flavor comes with that little addition. Thanks for a delicious update to an old favorite, and delectable Happy Holidays!
Thank you so much Cheryl, what a compliment! ❤️
This is the BEST cranberry sauce I've had and I include the non keto ones too. Orange zest is a game changer. Thank you so much for creating such a fabulous recipe for Thanksgiving!
Thank you Katie, I'm glad you enjoyed!
This is delicious. It’s tart, but in a good way.
Fabulous recipe! I added chopped walnuts because my keto heart thought there should be some fat involved. My only regret is that I made it two days before Thanksgiving and I don’t know if there will be any left for dinner.
I say make another batch! 😊 I like the idea of adding chopped walnuts for healthy fats!
