A roasted turkey, chicken or capon will never suffer from being eaten with a nice cranberry sauce. Cranberry juice is refreshing and has many health benefits. They are great in muffins and with baked Brie. They can be nice in a pie or cobbler as an accent for apples, but would indeed be overwhelming on their own. |

There's not too many Swedish people or lingonberries on this rock. The only place I can get lingonberry jam is from my step-mom. My step-mom and another woman are the only Swedes in Hawaii. |

I'm going to try the cranberries first...taste wise before cobbler. If it doesn't work alone, I'll break out a few apples to settle it down. I will report back whenever I make this. Not planning a grocery trip until day after Christmas though. OR....I might just go Sun or Mon. I often act on spur of the moment. |

You can put cranberries into anything that could use a bit of sour. I'm going to try some as a substitute for rhubarb in hot-and-sour soup. And I plan to finely chop a few the next time I make meatloaf. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net |

Thanks! Cranberries are wonderful when used to make home-made wine. Hard to clear but well worth the effort. |
