This recipe is more of an idea, than a recipe as such.
Dried Cranberries or Craisins are very popular at this time of year, and are used in all sorts of cakes, cookies, and in savory stuffing/dressings for the turkey.
But have you seen how much sugar and carbs are in those things?
My gosh, I nearly fell over…But, because Cranberries are so tart, they have to be offset with a bunch of sweetness to balance the flavors and make it palatable.
The simple solution….Make your own…
Cranberries aren’t hugely high in Carbohydrates, so they can be added to things in small quantities to give them that Holiday Flavor, and a pop of Festive Color.
We’ve decided to showcase them here in our Keto Snack Mix, and it makes a good little grab and go snack, or you can put it into a decorated mason jar, and give it to your family and friends as a token holiday gesture.
