17 Delicious Cranberry Recipes

So many cranberry recipes, so little time. Which is a shame because I am a lover of all things cranberry. And really, cranberry is such a versatile ingredient. You can use it in breads, jams, salads, sweet recipes, savory recipes, whatever. And it’s pretty much awesome in every different recipe, in every different way. And also as a snack. I love these Traverse Bay Fruit Co. Dried Cranberries. I like to eat a handful of them or toss dried cranberries in a recipe. Like I said, versatile!Cranberry Coffee Cake: This little cake takes the, um, cake. This paired with a cup of tea on a cold morning = perfection. {Pin it for Later}

Cranberry Cinnamon Pear Sauce: This recipe was born due to lack of ingredients. I found a recipe I liked but it called for apples. I didn’t have any, so I subbed in cranberries and never looked back! {Pin it for Later}
