Spiced Cranberry Sauce
Ingredients:

* One 1-pound box fresh cranberries
* 1 1/2 Cups water
* 2 tsp grated orange peel (fresh is best!)
* Dash of allspice
* Dash of cloves
* 10 drops of orange extract
* 5 drops of red food color [optional]
* 1 Cup Splenda®
* Liquid sweetener (sacharine, cyclamate, etc)
equal to 1 Cup Sugar

Bring cranberries, water and orange peel to a boil. Boil until the skin of the berries pop open (about 5 minutes.) Remove from heat, add remaining ingredients, and mix till thoroughly combined. Cool in refrigerator before serving.

An excellent accompaniment to your low-carb Thanksgiving Turkey meal!
Makes appox. 3 Cups. 1 gram per Tablespoon serving.

NOTE: You can use all Splenda as your sweetener, but you'll lower the carb count AND make a sweeter mix by combining 2 different sweeteners. Do NOT use Equal (aspartame) in this recipe as temperatures are too high for safety or for sweetness not to break down.
