I like cranberries, but a cranberry cobbler does not appeal. Apple and
cranberry would likely be better.

I sure don't doubt that. I like cranberries. 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.

Because I thought I could do all sorts of things with them. But then when I
looked at the recipes, they all called for the dried, sweetened ones.

I won't throw them away. I'll make more muffins if I have to. I was hoping
someone here had a suggested use for them.

Lingonberries are common here. Lots of Swedish people.

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 do have vanilla ice cream on my list. I do like to have that
around.

I've thought of that too, Dave. I know cranberries and apples go
together well. 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.

LOL, I have to agree. Call us bumpkins but we like the canned stuff.

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.

A local donut store chain used to have incredible carrot muffins with
cranberries in them. The corner bakery has wonderful cranberry orange
muffins.

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

My wife went on a tour of a cranberry processing operation while
attending a conference and she bought a bottle of their cranberry wine.
It was surprisingly good.

That sounds really good! Do you leave the peel on the orange?
