I found a bag of frozen Cranberries in the freezer - left over from the holidays. Since it was about at its peak for being frozen I thought I would use it and pass on some ideas to you.
For Cranberry sauce - I use the whole berries and a just little water about 1/4 cup and then add 1/4 of orange juice and some orange zest. I also put a shot of Cointreau in which really livens things up. Bring it all to a boil and wait for the berries to pop. Once they pop you can decide if you want a slightly chunky sauce or strain it. The Cranberries have a LOT of pectin so the sauce can be thick!
You can just chop the berries in a processor and use them as part of chutney or salsa. Using these right now in the beginning of summer is great jolt to your palette!
