Are you as addicted to dried cranberries as I am?

I can’t eat enough of those little red delights! I add them to everything. My family is beginning to worry…

They’re awesome in stuffing. Those, walnuts, a cut-up apple, and a lot of sage and onion, along with the bread cubes. Mmm mmm.

Dried cranberries? They are good, but not addicted!

Alas, I can’t have cranberry of any kind, because of the interaction with the medicine I have to take for the two blood clots that I had. I love cranberry juice too. Or cranberry sauce or torts that I make. Bummer. Thanks for the reminder, lol.

Yes! I get a packet, and I chew them a little bit, drink some water and then hold them in my cheeks for awesome juicy goodness for a few seconds. Then I munch them down.

Who’d have thought that something from a bog could taste so good?

Oh yes, yummo, you can definitely count me in as an addict. I love them mixed into my porridge every morning, as well as snacking on them.

While I find craisins to be just okay, I can never get enough prunes (or as they call them now, “dried plums”) or dried cherries.

I also love frozen cherries, still frozen.

omfgTALIjustIMDu's avatar

EW prunes. Yuck.

tiggersmom's avatar

I do like them, and make all kinds of thing with them, my daughter eats frozen strawberries, blueberries, and peas, even frozen green onion, chopped of course. Bout the only thing that I like frozen is ice and ice cream, lol.

Funny how the cranberry industry can take what used to be a waste by-product of juice making, sweeten it, and turn it into a yummy snack, eh?

Darwin's avatar

@laureth: It’s a form of recycling, called maximizing profit. The corn industry has done it best (see “The Omnivore’s Dilemma”).

@Darwin: Oh, I have, I have. :)

cooksalot's avatar
