Note: Tips for Cooking with Cranberries • A 12-ounce bag of cranberries equals three cups. • Leftover cranberry sauce can be refrigerated for several days or it can be frozen in an air-tight container up to a year. • Fresh cranberries will stay fresh and retain nutrients frozen for nine months to a year. Place bags of fresh berries directly into the freezer in their original bags. • Boiling cranberries is essential to release natural pectin inside the cranberry for gelling. You must boil the berries long enough to ensure the release of appropriate pectin. (Cook for at least 10 minutes.) • To add zing and texture to your bread or grain-based stuffing, add 1/2 to 3/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries to your recipe.
