Susan, how long do fresh cranberries stay good in the freezer. I bought 2 bags last Thanksgiving and still have one in the freezer.. Still good to use??

My mother made a great cranberry sauce/ salad that you wll have t try to believe. In a food processor, put a bag of fresh cranberries, a whole orange ( and I mean rind, pith and all ) cut in pieces, and an apple (also cut up ) Blend it up until fairly fine and mix with your choice of sweetener to taste. When cranberries are in season, I buy a BUNCH and freeze this fo the rest of the year.

I love Cranberries and hubby will only eat jelly or home made jello/cranberry salad which is just full of things he won't eat alone. I make a berry pie that contains cranberries, blueberries, blackberries and strawberries in any combination along with cherry pie filling. I add very little sugar and use tapioca for the thickener. It is great.

Trader Joe's has a cranberry apple butter spread that is really good on turkey sandwiches. Might have one now!

I am the only one who likes cranberry sauce (yes…the canned jelly kind) for leftover turkey sandwiches on buns. But a whole can is quite a bit. I have frozen some and it worked well. This year I made oatmeal jam bars but substituted the cranberry jelly instead of the jam in slices between the layers of the crust and topping and then slightly mashed with a fork to help spread the circles. It turned out quite tasty.

Hi Robin,
1 cup of fresh cranberries contain 5 grams of fiber.
