20 Amazing Cranberry Recipes To Make You Swoon

Let’s talk about Cranberry recipes. Cranberry recipes have come a long way from Thanksgiving sauces and turkey dinners. Cranberries are such a tasty and powerful food. Baked goods and cranberry recipes are so adult. You know what I mean? There’s something grownup about the tart flavour in a cranberry lemon loaf or a white chocolate cookie and in a cranberry mustard too.

In a salad, to the side as a sauce, or inside a tasty treat – cranberries are one of the world’s healthiest foods actually. The flavour of cranberries is the perfect counterbalance to sugary sweetness. Rich in anti-oxidants and full of nutrients, theses berries add value to anyone’s diet. There are so many great cranberry recipes available now I thought I’d share a few of my favourites.

Cranberries are ridiculously good for you and they are full of vitamin C, E, K and phytonutrients. They are excellent anti-inflammatory foods as well. In fact, cranberries beat out strawberries and blueberries for anti-inflammatory properties. Shocking!
