Jalapeño Cranberry Sauce is incredibly simple to prepare and takes only 20 minutes from start to finish. You also have the ability to adjust the spiciness. Using a red jalapeno will provide a mild heat. For a stronger kick, use two jalapenos, or opt for a serrano for even more spice. Be sure to remove the seeds and membranes to manage the heat level.

Fresh cranberries remain low-FODMAP in servings of up to half a cup. It's uncertain if cooking alters their FODMAP content. I believe that Jalapeño Cranberry Sauce is low-FODMAP in portions up to a quarter of a cup, but it's important to test it yourself and understand your body's reactions.
