Thanksgiving is a time of sharing and caring for one another. What better way to share than to bring a classic fruit-forward side dish sans all that unnecessary sugar! Thanksgiving side dishes are the ones we all can't wait to eat. Well, we have the perfect zesty sauce that will not only taste amazing but leave you and your close ones feeling guilt-free with zero-calorie sweetener, but with all the flavor of real sugar!
