I’m not sure if you’ve ever noticed, but I make a lot of recipes that involve cranberries. I’m a pretty big cranberry fan. Right now, you can find sales on those delicious berries everywhere. But when they aren’t in season, I just buy ’em dried in bulk from Amazon. Traverse Bay Fruit Co. Dried Cranberries are freakin awesome. Dried or fresh cranberries in a recipe typically means I’ll love it.
Here are 13 of my favorite cranberry recipes:
1. Cranberry Chicken Salad {or pin it for later!}
2. Broccoli Cranberry Salad w/ Feta and Almonds {or pin it for later!}
3. Traditional Cranberry Muffins {or pin it for later!}
4. Cranberry Cinnamon Pear Sauce {or pin it for later!}
5. Cranberry Pineapple Jello Salad {or pin it for later!}
6. Cranberry Bacon Apple Cornbread Stuffing {or pin it for later!}
7. Cranberry Coconut Breakfast Cookies {or pin it for later!}

Cranberry ice is a family favorite and tradition for the holidays. We switch it up some years and add wine for some of the water or add orange juice for some of the lemon juice. This could be made in an ice cream maker for smoother consistency but we don’t. We don’t put the vanilla in like this recipe does but I may give that a try this year. http://www.bostonglobe.com/lifestyle/food-dining/2013/11/26/recipe-for-cranberry-ice/hi4RuwSCcysUCEjAHxU9DO/story.html

I had never even heard of these–they look delicious. I pretty much love anything with shortbread too. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

My mom uses thyme (for tarragon), red onion (for green), no vinegar and adds pistachios to her cranberry chicken salad. That stuff is sooo dang good I can eat a whole bowl with saltines in one sitting!
Janet says
I use dried cranberries instead of raisins in carrot salad (carrots, cranberries & olive oil or mayo). Yum!
Mavis Butterfield says
Great idea. I love carrot salad too–I’ll definitely use cranberries next time I make it.

Good Morning! I like to add a handful of curry and some walnuts to my cranberry chicken salad! Yum!
Mavis Butterfield says
Yum, I bet the curry gives it a whole new meaning. Good idea!
