If there was one food that makes an appearance more than any other in our house during the holidays, it’s cranberries. They are beautiful. They have a multitude of uses. They pack a flavor {and nutritional} punch.
So grab a package at your friendly local grocery, and find your own use for these lovely little berries this holiday season. Or if you need some ideas, here are a few.
- Make cranberry garland for your Christmas tree or as an outside tree garland for the birds… a great kid activity.
- Add them to wreaths for a little visual treat.
- Fill vases with cranberries and candles.
- Add cranberries or craisins to rice dishes for a new flavor.
- Add craisins to your morning oatmeal.
- Create a simple cranberry topiary (thanks, Cranberry Moms!).
- Add to sweet pastries or crisps for a little tart punch (thanks, Bare Feet In the Kitchen!).
- Add them to salads… perfect with walnuts or pistachios.
- Make your own simple cranberry compote… and gift them!
- Create a lovely infused water drink for your holiday table (thanks, Cooking with a Wallflower!).
- Add to smoothies for a flavor punch and extra antioxidants, flavonoids and good-for-you enzymes.
- Make your own simple cranberry sorbet for after your big holiday meal. It is refreshing, light, and cleanses your palette.
