Cranberries
 

Is anyone else having trouble with fresh cranberries this year? I bought a 2 lb bag, regular name brand, to make cranberry-orange relish, thinking I would just freeze the extra for another use. Good grief, at least half of the berries are soft with bad places. Lucky there was extra!

Daffy

Yes I thought the same thing with the bag I bought.

Yikes, I better check my bags. DH has to have Cranberry pie each year. Thanks for the heads up.

Mmm, cranberry pie sounds delicious!

I love all things cranberry. So, now you have me totally intrigued ....

Would you please share your recipe?
I would really appreciate it!
THANK YOU!

Today I made Moms Frozen Cranberry Salad - cranberries were fine. If you've not made it here's the recipe.
Freeze 1 lb pkg cranberries beforehand. When ready to assemble salad, rinse berries with cold water. Chop them frozen in food processor , but not real fine. I tried grinder attachment on Kitchen Aid and it didn't work so good. Drain 1 or 2 cans crushed pineapple, drain really good! Mix pineapple with cranberries, add 1 cup white sugar and 2/3 pkg miniature marshmallows or whole pkg if you love them. Refrigerate overnight. Next day fold in 8 oz thawed Whipped topping. Combine well. Freeze until Thanksgiving Day. Remove early in morning and let it thaw out. Some ppl add walnuts but we have one who can't have them, so I skip that.

Please share cranberry pie recipe, when I googled, it was all cranberry plus something else.

My favorite cranberry salad: 1 bag cranberries, washed and picked, 2 c sugar (I use a little less), 2 c water. Heat, dissolve sugar and allow berries to pop. Add 1 lg. Raspberry Jello, stir to dissolve. Cool. Add one can crushed pineapple after removing some of the juice; 1 small can of chopped manderin oranges; 2-3 chopped apples (I leave the skins on); 1 c. chopped nuts. Chill. ---- You will get rave reviews!

Yes, please share your recipe. I have a grandson who just loves, loves cranberries. Thx!

I have a bag since last year. Very frozen in the back, but still looking good. I'll let you know how they are this year when i make them

For Thanksgiving I am making a cranberry salad that has raw cranberries, apples, walnuts and a red jello. The jello doesn't firm up, it is there as the sweetener. It is delish.

I forgot to mention that last year that I started a thread about having to buy 2 bags of cranberries every time I made a recipe because half of the berries were spoiled. I see others are having that problem, too.

This recipe isn't sweet, and it sounds strange, but it is WONDERFUL! It's Cranberry Sauce that goes well with meat. 2 c. cranberries, 1 small onion, 3/4 c. sour cream, 1/2 c. sugar, 2 T. horseradish. Grind onion and cranberries together. Add remaining ingredients. Put in freezer. One hour before the meal, pull out of freezer.

Watching for the cranberry pie recipe. I love all things cranberry, too!

Had a good cheese spread last week: Whipped cream cheese, diced dried cranberries and finely chopped green onions. I found lower sugar dried cranberries at our Fleet Farm store last week. Anxious to try them in this spread and in biscotti.

My favorite new recipe for cranberries is Cranberry Salsa

1 can whole berry cranberry sauce
1 whole jalapeño seeds if you want to add them
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 minced red onion
1 Thursday lime juice
Mix together and allow to set for several hours, even better a day or 2 later

We just had some on crackers with cream cheese, even better

This cranberry pie recipe is very good.Grnson' fav....he likes whipped cream on the side,DH prefers vanilla ice cream.
