While cranberries are a nice compliment to turkey and stuffing, they are a very versatile fruit that can be consumed year-round. We recommend buying fresh cranberries when in season and freezing them for later use.
Fresh or frozen cranberries can be used in smoothies, hummus, sauces, salad dressings, and relish, while dried cranberries are most often used in baked goods and desserts, as a topping for oatmeal or yogurt, an ingredient in salads or trail mix, or added to side dishes like stuffing, rice, or quinoa.
