** Recipe included in my new low carb, gluten free cookbook, Low Carbing Among Friends. Please check it out at our website @ http://www.amongfriends.us **

In partnership with FaveDiets ( http://www.FaveDiets.com ) recipe site, this recipe is a continuation of my Thanksgiving series of recipes. Cranberries are lower carb than most people think at only 7 net grams per cup. There are a lot of low carbers that use the initial method of boiling the cranberries in a Splenda syrup and then strained the pulp to make their own cranberry juice. This recipe at 2.5g would be an excellent addition to most Ongoing Weight Loss followers' Thanksgiving dinner. The original recipe was found here (http://bit.ly/ga2jDh ), but I slightly tweaked based upon my experience or failures.

  • Ok Kent, I'm not going to lie the finished product does not look so appealing but i'm sure it tastes fantastic! I'm thinking maybe we dont need the sweetner if were putting in the jello mix? Also, how many carbs and sugar grams are in cranberries? Thanks for continuing to post your wonderful recipes, you are very helpful. :)

  • @11833105 The cranberries pack quite a wallop of tartness. If you were you using only jello as sweetener you would need like 20 packets (guess). 1 cup of cranberries is:

    Carbohydrates: 11.59 g

    Fiber: 4.4 g

    Roughly 7 net carbs per cup.

  • @bowulf You don't count grams of sugar?

  • @11833105 No, as long as it is natural sugar contained within an accepted food (like tomatoes, cranberries, strawberries), it is fine. If it is added sugar, then it really doesn't matter how much or little is there. Either way those sugar grams don't need to be counted as it is the total glycemic load not simply the amount of sugar.

  • Great idea! I'm looking for additional things to do with fruit! Thanks!

  • @JimmyAkin Another really great idea to do with fruit would be to make low carb fruit pizza. I have a recipe posted here. I think one of the common afflictions most low carbers (myself included) shrink away from natural fruits as being an occassional treat or highlight of one's diet.

    Glad you liked it!

  • @SmokeyGoodness Dana Carpender (of Holdthetoast blog and low carb cookbooks fame) is actually doing the same experiment right now with gelatin. She says it is helping her and potentially triggers the same hormonal response as taking human growth hormone. She says it helps her feel younger and more energized. Have any plans for the holidays?

    We're traveling back to NW Iowa either tonight if the weather allows or early tomorrow morning.

  • A great video! You've just reminded me that I had started a bit of research on gelatin about 8 years ago. I abandoned the research for some reason, can't remember why.

    (The research had a medicinal purpose. Joint health & etc. I need to get back to that.)

  • @Robind0514 Well my hope is no one who after watching them can say something similar to what I read on the Atkins Facebook page the other day -- "Thanksgiving is the holiday of the devil." He was essentially saying that all the major favorites of Thanksgiving were high carb. After completing this series, there isn't much that hasn't been converted or improved by making it low carb.

    I hope you and yours have a very blessed Thanksgiving too.

  • Looks very good, thanks. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, and thank you for all the wonderful recipes Kent.
