Delia Smith's recipe for cranberry confit (ie cranberry sauce). It is really delicious but has orange juice, wine vinegar & sugar. I think it could be adapted with permitted sweeteners, other juices (grapefruit, say) & lemon.
I'll post it as is here & let others suggest how it could be made more compliant. Or maybe we don't care in the holidays.
1LB cranberries 4oz granulated sugar 15 fl oz red wine 2 tbsp best quality red wine vinegar zest & juice of 1 orange.
simmer gently without lid for 1 hour.
I found it needed much longer but was really, really nice, far better than shop bought.

There have been a few cooking shows recently with cranberry sauces. I noticed apples were added to make more of a gelled sauce because of the pectin. No clue as to how much to use, but I thought I would add my two cents.

Here is a blood type friendly cranberry RELISH (to really get those digestive juices moving):
1 package of cranberries (organic if you are quick)
1 wedge of organic lemon about 1/8th of the lemon or less!
a little molasses
a little vegetable glycerine
Toss cranberries and lemon in the food processor or blender until nearly all the cranberries are no longer whole. Process just a little bit longer. Use a spatula to transfer the mixture to a bowl (a clear glass bowl looks gorgeous). Stir in some molasses and vegetable glycerine. Cover the bowl and let the mixture sit for 1-2 days. It will get more and more juicy every day. Taste the mixture and add more sweetner as needed.
Uses: the first bite always makes a face but it really is delicious and will grow on ya especially if you make it nice and sweet. But, you can also use it to top cold turkey or cook it into ground turkey for burgers.

what I have recently tried and LOVE are those dried cranberries which I sprinkle on a salad. Add a little feta cheese or blue cheese, what a combination. Yum...
They are awfully sweet, though. I looked at the ingredients and it is just apple juice and cranberries (I got these at whole foods).
I wonder if you could make these so that they wouldn't be so sweet; more tart and sweet.
a few go a long way.
