Organic Dried Cranberries
Cranberries add a tangy flavor to everything from stuffing and sauces to beverages and barbecues. They make everyday relishes mouth-watering. And of course, they add a touch of the extraordinary to desserts.
These tart berries are also a colorful favorite to add to holiday homemade baked goods, sauces, jellies, and savory dishes.
Try substituting sweetened, dried cranberries for raisins in recipes for a tangy change.
Reconstitute dried cranberries just as you would raisins, by soaking them in hot water and let stand for 15 to 20 minutes.

Crystal's Scottish Cranberry Corn Muffins
These colorful corn muffins can be served as a warm morning muffin or as part of your holiday meal. I serve them Christmas morning with Cranberry Mint Sauce as a special holiday treat. Great with hot Coffee and/or Scottish Breakfast Tea.
1 cup Corn Flour or Cornmeal (toasted)
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup rice flour
1/2 teaspoon Masu 100% Sea Water Salt
2 cups apple juice
1 cup Organic Dried Cranberries
1/2 walnuts (optional)
Maple sugar to sprinkle on top
Soak the cranberries in hot water for 15-20 minutes. While they are soaking, mix the flours with salt. Strain the berries, then with walnuts and apple juice, fold into flour mix to form a batter. Let batter stand covered with a warm damp cloth for 2 hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir the batter gently and then fill oiled muffin tins. Sprinkle with maple sugar (optional). Bake for 30 minutes or until done. Poke with a toothpick, if it comes back dry they are ready. Serve with coffee, tea or egg-nog.
