    Make homemade cranberry sauce... yum... it's simple... assuming you have a bag of cranberries - mix that with one cup of water, and one cup of sugar.... and boil - until all the berries 'explode"... let cool and enjoy!!

    Muffins are another option... cranberry loaf.......

    ENJOY!!!!

    Use the cranberries and get a pomegranate and make an incredible grilled chicken and feta salad with a good aged balsamic vinaigrette dressing!

    Cranberries, orange juice, cinnamon stick and approx. a cup of sugar - boil until they burst and let simmer for 20 minutes.

    After you cook the cranberries try adding 2 cups off fresh blueberries while its still hot, just fold in lightly. WOW

    I lightly microwave a half cup of the cranberries for about 1 minute and then add about 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, some cinnamon & 1 packet of stevia. Stir & then microwave another minute and YUM!

    Cranberries, orange juice, cinnamon stick and approx. a cup of sugar - boil until they burst and let simmer for 20 minutes.

    i do similar only i add in grated lemon rind, orange rind, lime rind and then cut up the rinds in small strips and let that all simmer together. i also use less sugar so the sauce is still kind of tart.

    also you can do the exact same thing with canned cranberries sauce if you dont have fresh.fresh is better of course, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

    i can't cook but i was always in charge of the cranberry sauce in my family because it was the one thing i could do really well :laugh:

    cranberry orange relish

    Not sure of the proportions. I think about half and half. Just make it taste good to you!
    Orange - whole....peel and all
    Cranberries
    Sweetener of your choice

    Grind them all up together in a food processor - keep sort of chunky... like relish.
    No cooking involved! :smile:

    Eat them raw! (Note: takes a little getting used to)
