- Use Splenda® Brown Sugar Blend to reduce carbohydrate content if you have diabetes.
- Another way to reduce carbohydrate is to substitute 1-1/2 cups of frozen cranberries in place of whole-berry cranberry sauce and add low calorie sweetener to desired sweetness.
- For a lower sodium dish use no added salt ketchup without potassium chloride.
