Low FODMAP Friendly Cranberry Sauce

Are you team YAASSSSS or team Pass when it comes to cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving? I'm fully on board team YASSS, but I am only on board with the homemade stuff these days. When I was a kid, I used to LOVE the jellied cranberry sauce from a can, but the older I got the less I enjoyed it and the more I wished there was a fresher version available. My Grandmother always made the best homemade cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving, which I did not truly come to appreciate until I was a bit older. This low FODMAP cranberry sauce recipe is a twist on what I remember hers to be like, just cleaned up a bit, simmered with orange, cinnamon sticks, and fresh thyme sprigs, mostly to make your home smell fabulous while you're cooking, but also to infuse some seriously cozy seasonal flavors into the dish.


My favorite part about this recipe is, if you're spending time with anyone who is Team Pass, you'll have some leftover low FODMAP cranberry sauce to use as a topping over vanilla ice cream, cheesecake, or over oatmeal like I'm doing right now as I type this blog post. The tartness of the cranberry really pairs well with sweet or savory, so if you're not a fan of this as a Thanksgiving side dish, I urge you to try this low FODMAP cranberry sauce with your Thanksgiving dessert!


For all my low FODMAP cranberry sauce loving friends out there, one low FODMAP friendly serving of fresh cranberries is 130g, or approximately 1 cup of cranberries. This whole recipe make about 4 cups of low FODMAP cranberry sauce and a typical serving as a side dish is 1/2 cup, so if you know that you tolerate cranberry or are ready to give it a try, this is a great option for you. Sweetened only with monkfruit sweetener, a keto-friendly sugar substitute that I use in almost every single one of my recipes gives this a hint of sweet to balance out the tart of the cranberries without the use of refined cane sugar.
