Sugar-Free Dried Cranberries

It's easy to make your own sugar-free dried cranberries (craisins) at home. Sprinkle them over keto salads, use them in muffins and cookies, or add them to your low carb granola and yogurt. They're also delicious as a fruity snack on their own or with nuts.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Remove the pot from the heat and add cranberries. Set aside for 10 minutes. The cranberries will soften and pop.
  • Drain the cranberries and transfer them to a large bowl.
  • Add the powdered sweetener and coconut oil to the cranberries. Gently toss to coat, being careful to avoid smashing the berries.
  • Spread the berries on the lined baking sheet. Using the tip of a knife or a toothpick, pop any unpopped cranberries.
  • Place the baking sheet into the oven for 3-4 hours, or until the cranberries are shriveled and mostly dry. Turn off the oven and prop the door open with a wooden spoon.
  • Let the cranberries sit undisturbed for several hours or overnight, until completely cool and dry.
  • Store in an airtight container (I use a mason jar) in a cool dry place for up to a month.
