I love cranberries, and I also have to throw several away, when I buy a bag. I would love to have your cranberry bark recipe if you don't mind sharing. I make a delicious Cranberry salad for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I can't have much this year because I am taking Warfrain for a blood clot right now and cranberries and Warfrain do not go together.
Here is my recipe if anyone wants it.
2 bags or 2 qts of raw cranberries, 2 cups of water,4 cups of sugar, 2 pkgs of lemon jello,2 cups of chopped pecans, 2 cups of chopped apple, 2 cups of chopped celery, 2 Tablespoons of plain gelatin,4 tabls of cold water, 2 cups of water about 30 large marshmallows I prefer the small ones, they dissolve faster. (there is not a typo on the amount of water)
Clean cranberries then in a large pot combine cranberries, sugar and 2 cups of water cook until the berries stop popping - stir often, remove from fire. Add lemon jello and dissolve the 2 tbls of plain gelatin in 4 tabls of cold water and add to the mixture immediately (the gelatin thickens quickly) stir well. Now add marshmallows to hot mixture and stir until marshmallows are dissolved. Add 2 cups of cold water stir and let cool. Add apple, nuts and celery, stir and pour mixture into a very large pyrex pan and refrigerate to congeal for several hours. This will serve at least 20-25 people. Enjoy.

I love this quick snack - wash cranberries, beat a couple of egg whites until stiff, roll berries in egg whites then roll in granulated sugar- makes a great snack for kids and adults. My kids loved this when they were small.
