I love dried cranberries. They are super sweet and yet, still tangy enough to not be too much to handle. I am a dried cranberry addict, and combining them with other foods, just helps fuel my love of them.
I once toured a cranberry juice factory, and watched them mixing my beloved, tart cranberry juice with all sorts of other things, to sweeten it enough for the masses to enjoy. It was the first time I had ever seen the huge bogs filled with floating red berries. If you ever get a chance to see how they do it, I highly recommend visiting a cranberry farm.
Here are 5 must try dried cranberry recipes to get you started. Just call me an enabler:
