We love serving all sorts of cranberry recipes once Autumn rolls around. They find their way into the produce section come late fall.

Grocery stores stock their shelves with canned cranberry sauce all year long, but don’t overlook the fresh berries! They can be frozen and used up to 6 months later!

  2. The cranberry salsa looks amazing! I love cranberries- just wish it didn’t take so much sugar to make them taste good. So tart! Turkey and cranberry sandwiches are my favorite– ooh, Thanksgiving is so close!
