Cranberries are synonymous for the holiday season more than any other fruit. Even if your first
thought is cranberry sauce, these ruby red berries can do much more than accompany turkey.
Whether you use fresh, frozen or dried cranberries for baking, every cranberry dessert will be a
stunning centrepiece at your holiday table and stand out among other desserts.
Fresh cranberries are available for only three months, but in perfect timing-for holiday season, so
take advantage of it and try some of these recipes.
Dried cranberries are available all year long and add a chewy texture to all delicious treats. My
favourite is white chocolate cranberry cookies.
Check this Cranberry Dessert collection and you will find something for any occasion and skill level.
Whichever of these you choose you can’t go wrong with cranberries. Any of these cranberry desserts
will wows your guests.
