Fruits

The best fruits for a diabetic are avocados and olives! Occasionally, a few berries, limited to 1/4 cup at a time, may be acceptable. Below are a few recipes that will (probably) not spike your blood sugar.

Cranberries

To make a low carb cooked cranberry sauce, or low carb stove-top cranberry sauce, one only needs fresh or frozen cranberries, water, and a low-carb sugar alternative like erythritol. Just boil the ingredients together and the natural pectin in the cranberries will thicken it up.

Cranberry Whip
Cranberry whip is an easy, tasty last-minute holiday treat if you need one. You can also freeze and slice to serve, or freeze individual servings in cupcake liners. Then transfer them to a large zipper bag, and enjoy from the freezer all winter.

1 bag (12 oz) fresh cranberries
1 cup chopped pecans (or other nut)
1 block cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
1 cup Swerve Confectioners
2 cups heavy cream

Whip cream in a separate bowl. Chop cranberries in a food processor, then blend with softened cream cheese and Swerve. Fold in nuts and then whipped cream. Serve immediately, refrigerate, or freeze.
