Cranberries in Baked Goods
We often only consider cranberries as a side dish at Thanksgiving. However, it is perfectly fine to add them to some of your baked goods all through the year. The tartness offsets the sweet or rich desserts. A good tip is to toss the cranberries in flour before adding them to the mix. That will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the finished product. You can substitute sweetened, dried berries but reduce the amount by a quarter. So, if the recipe calls for a cup of fresh (or thawed frozen) cranberries, use ¾ cup of dried. Read More.
