Cranberry

Whether you use them in cocktails, appetizers or desserts, cranberries are delicious in both sweet and savory dishes! These are the BEST cranberry recipes!

Most commonly used around the holidays, cranberries are popular in both sweet and savory dishes. You can use them whole or dried for a variety of recipes.

When using them whole, you can add them to baked goods like cookies, cakes and breakfast pastries. You can even use them as a garnish for cocktails.

You can cook them down with a variety of other ingredients to make the Thanksgiving classic: Cranberry Relish. They also pair well with savory dishes like pork, meatballs and goat cheese.

Personally, I like to add dried cranberries to salads. They add a nice color and flavor.
