Holiday Recipe for the Bariatric Patient - Crazy for Cranberries
Bailey Bariatric dietitian Rene Norman, RD/LD, shares a recipe to enjoy during the holidays without the added sugar.
Fresh cranberries finally arrived in the grocery store this past week. I typically use some during the holidays and then freeze the rest to have throughout winter.

A tablespoon of commercially prepared, jellied cranberry sauce has six grams of sugar - that’s a teaspoon and a half of sugar.
