I’m not a big fan of cranberries on their own but throw in some sugar or put them in something else and I love them. They are also so festive with their beautiful red color. 

I like to stock up on cranberries when I see them and throw some bags in my freezer. Then I have some on hand when I want to make some delicious cranberry recipes. 

There are cranberry sauce recipes, recipes for cranberry bread, and even cranberry cookie recipes. You likely had no idea you could use cranberries in so many ways.
