When I first made this Keto Cranberry Sauce, I wasn’t sure how my family would react. My husband, a die-hard traditionalist, was skeptical, and my kids were convinced cranberry sauce only came in a can! But the moment they tried it, their plates were cleaned, and they were asking for more. My youngest even declared, “This tastes like Christmas!” Now, it’s become a holiday tradition in our house. The kids love how sweet and tangy it is, my husband appreciates that it’s healthier, and I love that it’s easy to make. Trust me, this recipe’s a keeper!
