Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 100C / 210 F electric (or 80C fan).
  • If using frozen cranberries, place in a bowl of boiled water to defrost. If using fresh cranberries, place in a pan with a little boiling water and simmer for 2 - 4 minutes on a low heat or until they soften slightly and the skin pops open. Drain and place on kitchen paper and press to remove the moisture.
  • Pierce any berries that haven't popped with a fork. Put them in a bowl and toss them in the coconut oil and powdered sweetener.
  • Pour cranberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and dehydrate in the oven for 4 ½ hours. Then, turn off the oven, prop the door open with a wooden spoon and leave the cranberries inside overnight.

Notes

Makes 1 cup of dried cranberries (100g).
1,4g net carbs per serving of 1 tablespoon. Makes 14 servings. 
Check during baking to ensure the cranberries do not over-brown. 
If your cranberries are more on the dried/crunchier side, they can be kept in the cupboard. If they have a slight softness to them and you prefer a little moister, you should keep them in the fridge.
Sweetener: You can use erythritol or allulose for this recipe. Allulose is my favourite as it absorbs into the cranberries and sits less on top.
