Versatile, vibrant and tangy –
that’s what makes the cranberry a dynamic addition to any
food or drink. But did you know this little berry has a wild
side – an alter ego so to speak - inspiring creations from
Mojitos to Beef Yakitori? Whether fresh, juiced, in sauce or
sweetened dried, cranberries provide the perfect base for creating
a meal with that WOW factor!
 And, now that it’s spring, it’s
time to refresh your winter routine of soups and stews with colorful,
lively ingredients guaranteed to awaken the palate. Cranberries
are such a versatile, year-round ingredient and flavor; they
complement any flavor combination from sweet and savory dishes,
chocolate to jalapenos. Recipe:
Cran-Ango
Beef Yakitoi
What could be more refreshing
than the flavor combination of fresh mint and cranberry? The
Cranberry Mojito offers a sensational sip, with or without alcohol.
 And with grilling season approaching,
instead of basic BBQ sauce, add a dash of cranberries and cilantro
to marinated beef skewers and serve on a bed of grilled romaine
halves.
