Savita's Recipe Notes:
If you can't find fresh cranberries for this recipe, use frozen berries instead, although they won't pop like fresh fruits when heated, and they soften much more quickly. Look for berries that are dry and bright red, and discard any that are shrivelled or have brown spots. Cranberries can taste quite sharp, but when mixed with sugar they give a pleasant tang.© Chef De Home. Post content including video and photos are copyright protected.
