5+ of the Best Ways to Use Fresh Cranberries

Last Modified: Sep 19, 2024 by Janessa.

If you've got a bag of fresh (or frozen) cranberries around that you're looking for a tasty way to use, I've got you covered! From smoothies to sandwiches and more, these recipes highlight the incredible flavor of this underrated berry.

Cranberries are one of those flavors that can take some getting used to.

But once you embrace their sourness, you can appreciate the depth of flavor that they add to all sorts of recipes.

I've come to really love cranberries in the past few years and use them in all sorts of ways (like making frosted cranberries make lava cakes more festive).

So if you're in need of some inspiration, here are 5 sweet and savory ways that I love to use them!

Homemade Cranberry Sauce
Possibly the most obvious choice for using fresh cranberries, but one which certainly should not be over looked. Once you've tried this naturally sweetened recipe and see just how easy it is, you'll never have cranberry sauce from a can again!

Cranberry Crisp
This easy and delicious dessert features a jammy maple cranberry filling that is topped with a buttery oats and brown sugar streusel. And since it is made entirely with oat flour, it is easily gluten free. Enjoy it on its own or top it off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
