Cranberry Recipes

Cranberries are especially popular during the month of November and are usually eaten along side your turkey as some kind of sauce whether it comes from a can or homemade. In its juice form is helps to prevent certain types of bacteria from clinging to the side of the bladder, helping to ease any kind of infection that relates to the urinary tract. While cranberries are naturally low in fat and calories they also contain potassium and vitamin C which is great for your immune system and help in fighting certain cancers. I particularly enjoy adding cranberries to salads creating an element of tartness and texture or making a vinaigrette to compliment my salad. I also have incorporated dried cranberries in a sweet bread pudding for an awesome dessert. Here are a few ideas for your Thanksgiving feast this year and other ideas for all of the other days of the year.
