I pour it in a clean can (from a high carb cranb sauce) so it comes out looking just like what we use to buy.

Yes Jackie, the rough rule of thumb is 1 T. will handle the recrystallizaton of 1/4 cup of granular erythritol very nicely. About half that amount if you are using powdered erythritol. So basically a 4:1 ratio erythritol to not/sugar.

Jackie - so you add a package of plain gelatin when your cooking the cranberries the stain the mixture for jellied sauce?

I rehydrate the gelatin in 1/4 cup cool water in a large bowl. I cook the cranberries/water/sugars then strain the mixture over that same large bowl.
Then I stir real well to dissolve the gelatin. Then pour it into my mold/can, cover and refrigerate. If I'm in a hurry, I stick it in the freezer for a bit but either way it sets up well.

One time I tried cutting back to half the gelatin to see what would happen--it didn't thicken enough so I went back and reheated it and added more gelatin and that fixed it.

Thanks for that info Kevin. I'm going to try the not/sugar next time and omit the polyd.

Thanks Jackie, I'll try that next time. I'll use Kevin's sweetener combo and the plain gelatin - that oughta thicken up! Although, using the Not Sugar I wonder if I'll really need the gelatin? I'm confused, again!

I was kinda thinking out loud here. Let me know what you guys think.

Tweak, if you are trying to make the kind that is like jello that you can cut a slice of.....use both. If you want the kind with pieces of cranberry that is the texture of say Jam that you use a spoon with then just use the not/sugar.

Thanks Kevin, that's just what I needed to know!

Revamping for Thanksgiving 2008..Kevin...If I want to make the sauce then I need to fix like what is on the Ocean Spray Bag but doing your sugar subs..if I want to make it like what you cut and slice then add plain gelatin (Knox..1 pack) to it along with your sub sub?? Or SF Jello..cannot find cranberry thou...confusing...

We have another thread here wondering about really how to make this here:http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/ma...l#post11160999
