KETO CRANBERRY & GINGER SAUCE

Cranberry sauce is an essential part of Thanksgiving and Christmas; a turkey dinner isn’t quite right without it. Also fantastic during non-holiday times of the year, this delightful sauce pairs beautifully with a variety of meats and poultry, as well as desserts, yogurt, granola, and pancakes. Use it in place of jam for a tangy (and nearly calorie-free!) twist.

Chef’s Tip

The star anise is an optional flavor for this recipe, but the fragrant aniseed flavor is especially festive for the holidays.

Before serving or placing the cranberry sauce into storage jars, remember to remove the cinnamon stick, vanilla bean, and star anise.
