Freeze leftover berries. I put them on a cookie sheet, freeze 'em then put the frozen berries in a freezer bag. Won't be a big lump when you need more.

Can I convert this recipe into a bread or something? I don't have a muffin pan. Can I follow this recipe, but pour it into a rectangular pan and make bread?
 
I haven't bought cranberries yet from Costco, for this season. I need to do that, and make sure I buy enough.

These are the things I want to make:

* Cranberry Marmalade (1 lb. cranberries):

* Orange Glazed Cranberry Bread (1 cup cranberries)

* Cranberry Syrup (1 cup cranberries):

Another recipe, uses unsalted butter:

* Cranberry BBQ Sauce (2 cups)

* Cranberry-Pistachio Bark (1/3 cup)

* Lemon Cranberry Muffins (maybe I can convert it to bread?) (1 cup)

So based on the 2 lb. Costco bags, is 6 lbs. enough, or should I go for 8 lbs.?

Apparently Yes you can but I haven't tried this

Because muffins are small, they are generally baked at relatively high temperatures so they develop browning before their interiors overcook. In general, muffins bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Loaves, on the other hand, have a much greater volume-to-surface-area ratio and require longer baking at a lower temperature. We tested several fruit and nut muffin recipes, as well as a plain one, baking each in 8 1/2 by 4 1/2-inch pans at a range of oven temperatures and times.Our findings?

To convert a muffin recipe to make a loaf, set the oven rack in the middle position, decrease the oven temperature by 50 degrees, and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf matches the visual cue (either “with few moist crumbs attached” or “clean”), 60 to 70 minutes. Recipes with sugary toppings like streusel should be tented with foil during the last 20 to 25 minutes to prevent them from getting too dark.

Thanks, seems doable. 60 - 70 minutes seems a bit long, I would probably check it at 40 - 50 minutes before letting it run longer if necessary.

But definitely seems doable, since only the time and temperature need to be adjusted, not the overall ingredients.
 
Use your remote thermometer to determine internal temps :D Bread is usually ready at around 200-205o. No reason why that should be any different.
 
Not quite the same subject, but thought I would share it anyway. I buy the canned cranberry sauce and remove it from the can. I then slice it into small, thin slices ( maybe 3/8 inches) . I then use various cookie cutters to create various shapes of the season- such as leaves, pumpkins, turkeys, etc. I decorate the plates with these and always get compliments.
 
It's really good.

I think other cranberry products that I've bought before, must have been using dried cranberries. Because they didn't taste as juicy as the cranberries in this lemon cranberry bread.

I had the cranberry syrup on pancakes a few months ago.

It's interesting. Something I could have once in a while. But other times, I'd want plain syrup.

I made the cranberry bbq sauce.

It's good, it has a lot of flavor.

I think I want to use it on something other than smoked poultry, though. Like maybe in a sandwich or something?

I tend to like my smoked or bbq poultry as is, from the cook.

But this cranberry bbq sauce is good enough to have with something.

Just not sure what.

I was also disappointed to learn that bbq sauce contained ketchup. I kind of liked the mystery of not knowing.

I made this.

I don't usually like things that are both sweet and salty.

But sweet, salty, and sour? That is interesting. I kind of like it. I'd make it again.

I burned the white chocolate a little, I have to remove it quicker after it's melted.
 
Arun, thanks for the link, how did I miss your thread. Some good stuff here. I have a 1 1/2" binder full of just recipes using cranberries if you ever need more ideas. lol
 
Joan, A few years ago I had Thanksgiving dinner at a local restaurant called "Cooks". They served a cranberry sauce, maybe a syrup, with their turkey that was wonderful. the strange thing about it was that it was clear. I have not found a recipe that even resembles it. I you, or anyone else, has any idea what that recipe might have been it would be appreciated.

Allen, I checked by binder. I have dozens of recipes for sauce, but none for syrup. And none of the sauce recipes said anything about being clear. So sorry, hope someone else can be of help to you.

You need to find a farmer/ road side stand that sells WHITE CRANBERRIES.

They're picked when mature but not progressed to the last stage (turned red).

Can't put them in the freezer though as they will turn red.
 
I made an apple cranberry soup.

It was my first time making a soup with fruit in it. I didn't even know if that was possible.

I didn't think it would be that good.

But it was really good!

I also tried making a few different butternut squash cranberry soups afterwards. They were ok, but I didn't like them enough to post about them.
