Does anyone have any recipes or ideas on what to do with dried cranberries?

You could also make a granola with them or add them to any quick bread recipes. Just last week I made pumpkin bread with dried cranberries & walnuts.

Greyson if you are making a pasta dish you can make a quick sauce with, butter, a little chicken or veg stock, garlic, pignoli nuts and dried cranberries. Add some parsley and a good cheese (Romano, Asiago).
Another idea is to make a sauce for poultry using Port Wine, orange juice and dried cranberries. You have to reduce the liquid way down to get a syrupy consistency but it makes a killer sauce. |
I like fresh or dried cranberries tossed into a balsamic reduction that gets poured over roasted brussels sprouts.
My daughter always puts dried cranberries in her brownies. Always in the granola bars and oatmeal. Hmmm, I have a recipe for a cashew truffle that I do with dry cherries, I bet you could do it with cranberries? Chocolate Cherry Truffles. • 3/4 cup raw cashews • ¾ c cold water • 16 oz semi-sweet dark chocolate chips • ¾ c dry cherries • 2 tbsp olive oil • Additional chopped nuts and cocoa powder as needed/desired for coating. Place cherries in a bowl of warm water to soak for about 5-10 minutes. Place cashews and water into a food processor and blend well for 1-2 minutes until completely chopped and the mixture forms a heavy cream consistency. Remove cherries from water and add to cream in food processor. Blend another 30 seconds or until cherries are well chopped. (You’ll still have some chunks, you want that) In a double boiler, heat 2 inches of water in the bottom pot and in the top, add in oil and dark chocolate. Heat over medium heat and stir consistently until chocolate is melted and smooth. Turn heat down and let chocolate cool for a minute or two. Fold your cashew/cherry cream into the chocolate, stirring gently until incorporated fully. Pour all of this into a container (glass is best) and pop into your refrigerator for about 2 hours. It will get nice and thick in there. When you pull it out from the refrigerator, start to spoon out bite size amounts and roll them into balls. Leave plain or coat in cocoa powder and or nuts and serve. |

Have you ever had their chicken apple sausage? It is really good. They also sell french green beans that are amazing and $1.99lb frozen. They have dried mango that I love. Especially the chili spiced mango (the chili is getting redundant with me, I know). But perhaps the best "find" at TJ is the frozen pizza that comes directly from Italy. They contract with a pizza maker exclusively. Seriously, less than $5.00 and you are dining in Rome. |

I am going to have to look for that spice mix. Sounds like you all are eating well over there. |

Ok so now I know why my buddy Jim brought home 2 lbs of bacon following our bacon party conversation. Today he made a BLT sandwich and half a pound of bacon is gone!
His wife is so mad at him that she hid his car keys and told him to go "walk off the bacon". lmao |

Well this dessert could not have been more simple, I just scooped some pudding into martini glasses, topped it with the raspberry sauce and viola. This was served with some late harvest gewurztraminer and good Port. The Femmes loved the dessert so much that they were licking the glasses clean. I will never forget that image. Beautiful Femmes, dressed in gorgeous attire, licking the martini glasses. Loved it. |
I wanted to know what to do with dried cranberry beans! Greyson misheard me. So what is a yummy way to do them up?

That is very funny. Julie I have used them as I would any other dried red bean. Are you looking for a particular dish? A main course perhaps? |
