Sweet with a Kick: My Go-To Keto Cranberry Jalapeño Sauce
Every Thanksgiving, there’s one dish I never skip: my AILI Jalapeño Cranberry Sauce. Years ago, I took a recipe I loved and gave it an And I Like It™ twist—swapping out the sugar for FirstRate™ and adding fresh jalapeños for a spicy surprise. Since then, it’s been a staple at my table… and not just during the holidays.
If you’re tired of that jiggly, sugar-packed canned cranberry sauce, this one’s for you. With the tart bite of cranberries, the heat of diced jalapeños, and just the right amount of sweetness, it’s a bold upgrade—and it won’t spike your blood sugar.

Of course, it’s perfect alongside your Thanksgiving turkey, but don’t stop there. One of my favorite ways to serve it is spooned over softened cream cheese with a side of gluten-free or keto crackers. It turns into the easiest crowd-pleasing appetizer with zero stress. I’ve even been known to make it outside of November—because good food shouldn’t be seasonal.
So go ahead—ditch the can. This sauce is easy to make, easy to love, and makes your holiday meal feel extra special without the guilt.
Treat yourself well this season. Your turkey (and your tastebuds) will thank you.
