Cranberries aren't just a condiment for your holiday turkey.
You're in for a scrumptious surprise when you taste what these readers
shared with us. They reinvented ways to use fresh, frozen, and dried
cranberries, offering everyday recipes full of good-for-you flavor.
Fresh cranberries are abundant now, so purchase the berries in bulk, and
freeze them for up to a year. Caramelized Onion-Cranberry Compote is one
way to put your stockpile to use. If you don't have fresh or frozen on
hand, try Cranberry-Orange Bread. It calls for dried cranberries, which
are just as nutritious. Consider making two loaves—the slices are so
good, our colleagues devoured them at the taste-testing table.

Healthy Benefits
Cranberries and 100% cranberry juice contain more
antioxidants than many of the commonly eaten fruits that reduce the risk
of cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses.
The tannins in cranberries help protect against tooth decay and gum
disease by fighting off bacteria.
