Cranberries
Raw cranberries are glossy and scarlet red in appearance, firm in texture with a bitter, starchy and tart flavor. Cranberries' culinary uses are primarily as a processed fruit: dried or frozen whole, canned or processed into fruit juices and sauces. Once juiced, cooked and processed, cranberries display the perfect sweet-tart ratio that is both quenching and nostalgically satisfying.
