Cranberry Recipes

For some reason cranberries taste especially good when the weather turns cool. We have found that Great Lakes' Cranberries (sold in 25oz jars) can be substituted for canned cherries, blueberries or dried cranberries in most recipes. They add a wonderful unexpected tartness. Your family and guests will love them.
