This is the one time of year I like to dive into all things cranberry.

So, I’ve got you covered with appetizers, cocktails, desserts AND a new spin on cranberry sauce!

Cranberries are so versatile this time of year. You can find them fresh, frozen or dried and there are a variety of cranberry recipes to make with each.

I try to use the fresh cranberries as much as I can BUT if you buy a bag and don’t use it right away, just put it in the freezer to keep longer. Then, use the frozen cranberries in recipes too.
