What to Eat Now: Fresh Cranberries ~ I’ve gathered together the best fresh cranberry recipes to help you savor those tangy red berries before they disappear for another year. I’ve got you covered from breakfast all the way to dessert, but cranberries are only around for a couple of months, folks, so let’s focus!
Did you know?
- cranberries are one of only 3 fruits native to North America (along with blueberries and Concord grapes)
- only about 3% of the annual cranberry crop is sold fresh, the rest gets canned and bottled.
- cranberries are insanely healthy ~ they’re low calorie, high fiber, high in vitamin C and cancer fighting antioxidants.
- you CAN eat them raw! Pulse them into a relish, or blend up into a super nutritious smoothie.
- they freeze beautifully, just throw the bags in the freezer, they’ll keep all the way ’til next cranberry season.
- fresh cranberries are good for so much more than sauce…just scroll down and see!

I absolutely enjoy cranberries, too! This season I have experimented with them a little, and I even came up with a fun pasta recipe featuring fresh cranberries.
