Thanksgiving has passed, but that’s no reason to stop eating cranberries.

These pert and tart berries are a welcome addition and decorative garnish throughout the year, and especially brighten up a winter table during the frosty holiday season. Their bright ruby color practically screams celebration, livening up salads and sauces, desserts, and cocktails, and their pucker-y tartness easily complements sweet and savory dishes.
