All about cranberry - Cranberry for all seasons

Buying

Look for plump, shiny, firm berries.

Storing

Cranberries have the advantage of keeping in the refrigerator for up to 2 months if they are not washed. They lend themselves very well to freezing, with no preparation required.

Preparing

Because of their texture and sourness, it’s unusual for cranberries to be eaten raw; however they require little preparation.

Cooking

A wonderful accompaniment to poultry, game and roasts.
A natural companion for orange and an excellent partner for blueberries and raspberries.

Add them to the cooking juices of a roast or poultry 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.

Cook them briefly with a little water or light syrup, just long enough for the berries to pop. They can then be reduced into marmalade, compote or jam, or added to terrines or chutneys.

They can also be tossed with sugar and left to exude their juice overnight before being added to desserts.

Dried cranberries can be used in any recipe in which you would use raisins (sauces for game, pastries, muffins, crumbles, cereals, salads, etc. )
