Consuming Passions: cranberries

Growing up, I have no memories of a cranberry that didn’t come from a can or bottle. It wasn’t until after I finished university that I made cranberry sauce for the first time. While that one didn’t end up being a winner, it did introduce me to the joys of fresh cranberries. Once I’d tasted the real deal, there was no going back – I’ve tried every cranberry recipe I could get my hands on.
