What Ingredients Make This Recipe Work?
Truvia Brown Sugar: The Sweet Secret
First up, the magical Truvia Brown Sugar Blend. It's the secret sauce (pun intended) in our recipe. This low-calorie sweetener is a game-changer for those of us keeping an eye on our calorie intake. Made from stevia leaf extract, erythritol, and a dash of molasses, it gives you all the sweet, brown sugar goodness with a whopping 75% fewer calories. Sweet, right?
Cinnamon: Spice Up Your Life and Your Health
Now, let's talk about everyone's favorite spice – cinnamon. It's not just a flavor enhancer; it's a health booster too! Cinnamon brings warmth and depth to your dishes while serving up a side of antioxidants. It's like the superhero of spices, regulating blood sugar levels and even aiding in weight loss. Sprinkling some into our cranberry sauce not only elevates the taste but also adds to its health benefits.
A Citrusy Twist with Orange Extract
What's cranberry sauce without a little zing? Enter orange extract. It adds a refreshing citrus kick to the cranberry sauce, perfectly balancing the tart cranberries and the sweetness of Truvia Brown Sugar. The traditional version uses orange juice which is loaded with sugar, but by using extract, you don't need to worry about that!
Preparation Made Easy

Now, let's get to the fun part: making this delightful sauce. It's a breeze! Just toss all the ingredients into a saucepan, let them dance together until those cranberries burst and the mixture thickens. Give it some time to cool down, and you're good to go.
