A few notes about cranberries
Cranberries are indigenous to North America, particularly thriving in the cooler climates of Wisconsin and Massachusetts, which are the leading U.S. producers. Harvest season runs from September through November, making it the best time to find them in stores.
While fresh cranberries are notably hard and sour, they're frequently processed into various products like juice, jams, and sauces, or dried to be used in salads, and baked goods such as scones and muffins (try my recipe for Easy British Style Scones). In addition to their culinary uses, cranberries have a historical role as a natural dye and for their medicinal properties.
Faqs about cranberries and their use in recipe
Fresh cranberries can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 months or can be frozen for longer-term storage.
You can turn leftover cranberries into smoothies, add them to oatmeal, or even use them as a topping for yogurt or ice cream.
While it's a Thanksgiving staple, you can use cranberry sauce year-round as a condiment for other dishes like roast chicken, sandwiches, or even desserts.
