Cranberry sauce is typically tart and slightly sweet, which provides a contrast to the rich, savory dishes that make up a holiday meal. The acidity and sweetness help balance the heaviness of the other foods.

Ingredients and directions:
12 ounces whole cranberries, fresh or frozen
1 1/3 cups Allulose
Zest of one orange
Juice of one orange and water to equal 1 cup

Mix ingredients together in a medium saucepan and cook until the cranberries pop and the mixture begins to gel, about 10 minutes. The popping of the cranberries may be disconcerting to unsuspecting folks nearby.
