Simple Low FODMAP Cranberry Sauce
Simple Low FODMAP Cranberry Sauce
Cranberry sauce is a delicious Christmas condiment that goes perfectly with chicken, pork and turkey! In some countries fresh or frozen cranberries can be hard to find, therefore I have used dried cranberries to make a low FODMAP sauce.
Note on dried cranberries: Dried cranberries have a low FODMAP serving you can enjoy during the first phase of the low FODMAP diet. We've done the FODMAP math for you so all you need to do is divide the recipe into the recommended number of servings.

- Place the dried cranberries in a large bowl. Pour over boiling water until they are completely submerged. Cover the top of the bowl with clingfilm to keep the steam in. Leave to soak for 20 to 30 minutes, until the cranberries have rehydrated and are soft.
- Zest the orange (the trick is to only zest the bright orange layer and not the bitter white layer underneath).
- Drain the cranberries using a sieve (they should now weigh about 225g or 7.94oz). Transfer the cranberries to a blender/food processer or use a stick blender and then add the cranberry juice. Process until reasonably smooth (a few chunky bits of cranberry are okay).
- Place into a small saucepan and add the sugar, orange zest pinot noir wine and a pinch of salt. Dissolve the corn starch in a small amount of warm water and add to the saucepan. Place over medium low heat and allow the sugar to dissolve and sauce to reduce slightly until thick (this will take about 5 minutes), stirring occasionally. Once the sauce is your desired consistency remove it from the heat.
- Place in a small bowl and pop into the fridge to chill. Make sure you divide the sauce into 12 serves to stay within the low FODMAP serving size for dried cranberries. This is about a tablespoon per serve. Store in the refrigerator.
