    Anybody cook with cranberries?

    I've been given a bag of cranberries, along with some other goodies. Thing is, I've never cooked/baked with cranberries. Anyone have any tips or good recipes? Big Smile [:D]

    Cranberry bread, maybe? Because they are sour you may have to cook them first with sugar and then add them to your mixture. Or you can freeze them and make a chutney for other side dishes.
    It's no use saying, ''We are doing our best.'' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.

    Make some cranberry wine. It's good for the constitution.

    I bought some batteries, but they weren't included.

    Found a recipe on Ocean Spray's website for cranberry banana bread. Think I'm going to try doing that, but maybe do it as muffins instead of a loaf. Smile [:)] If you never hear from me again, assume it killed us. hehehe

    Here is a good recipe blik for cranberry cake

    INGREDIENTS

    Topping

    1/4 cup unsalted butter
    3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    3/4 pound fresh or thawed, frozen whole cranberries

    Cake

    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup unsalted butter
    1 cup granulated sugar
    2 eggs, separated
    1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
    1/2 cup milk
    1/8 teaspoons cream of tartar

    1. For the topping: Butter a 9-inch round cake pan. Place butter and brown sugar in the prepared pan and place it over medium heat. Stir occasionally until butter has melted and the sugar is dissolved. Scatter the cranberries evenly over the butter-sugar mixture. Remove from heat and set aside.

    2. Preheat oven to 350F. For the cake: In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. In another larger bowl, beat together the butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after you add each one. Add vanilla and mix well to combine. Fold the lour mixture in to the egg mixture in three batches, using a rubber spatula, and alternating with the milk.

    3. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a whisk or electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the batter, using the spatula.

    4. Spread batter evenly over cranberry mixture in pan. Bake 55 to 60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

    5. Remove cake pan from oven and allow to cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake and then invert the pan onto a serving plate. Let it stand for 5 minutes, then lift off the pan.

    6. Serve plain or with whipped cream, if desired.

    Serves 8 to 10.

    Cranberry and Apple Crumble

    RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
    1/2 cup flour
    1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
    1/4 cup packed brown sugar
    1/4 cup chilled butter, cut into small pieces
    6 cups peeled and sliced (about 1/2 inch thick) apples (we like Braeburn or Granny Smith)
    1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
    1/3 cup fresh orange juice
    1 tablespoon cornstarch
    1. Heat the oven to 375°. Combine the flour, G cup of the sugar, the brown sugar, and the butter in a bowl. Mix the ingredients with your fingertips to create pea-size crumbs. (Alternatively, pulse the mixture in a food processor 10 times or so.)

    2. Combine the apple slices and cranberries in a large bowl. Mix the juice, remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Pour the mixture over the fruit and toss well.

    3. Spoon the fruit into a 2-quart baking dish and sprinkle on the flour mixture. Bake the crumble until bubbly and golden brown, about 40 minutes. Serves 6 to 8.
