Low Carb Cranberry Sauce (1 tablespoon is 1 total carb)

1 cup fresh cranberries
2/3 cup water
1 tsp unflavored gelatin (or 1 tablespoon packet*
2 ounces cold water
1 tablespoon butter (optional)
1/4 cup granulated sweetener
1/8 tsp orange extract or 1 drop orange oil
1/4 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt (optional)

Mix 1 tsp (or one packet) unflavored gelatin with 2 ounces of cold water. Mix until well dissolved. Set aside. ***you’re only going to use 1 tsp of the mixture. Unfortunately, it comes in a 1 tablespoon packet.

Boil 2/3 cup water, with the cup of fresh cranberries. After berries pop and soften, add butter and granulated sweetener. Mix well. When sweetener is dissolved and mixture has thickened, add 1 tsp of gelatin that was mixed with water. Stir until all gelatin is dissolved. Add extracts and oils. Taste for sweetness. Let cool in fridge for 4 to 6 hours.
