DIRECTIONS:

Step 1

Heat 1 TBS of Olive Oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ¼ cup of chopped shallot and cook, stirring until softened, about a minute or two.

Step 2

Add 1 ½ cup red wine, salt and pepper, 4 TBS of Swerve Confectioners, 1 ½ tsp sage and bring to a boil on medium-high heat.

Step 3

Cook stirring occasionally, until the sauce is reduced by about half, and should take around 10 minutes.

Step 4

Mash the cranberries gently with a back of a spoon. Note: If the sauce is too bitter from the cranberries, add one or more TBS Swerve Confectioners.

Step 5

Turn off heat, and sprinkle xanthan gum over cranberry/wine mixture. Whisk in completely and set aside for 10 minutes to allow to thicken.

Step 6

Add TBS of butter and mix into thickened mixture.

Step 7

Pour warm or hot over turkey or dressing and enjoy!

 

Note: if it is too thick, add a little warm water before serving.
