I plan on using cranberries in my wedding centerpiece next september, and was wondering how i can keep them. they will be floating in water so i dont want to freeze them since they will get soggy and leak. any suggestions??

Leave the cranberries in the plastic bag in which you purchased them and put them in the freezer. Until cranberries are cooked, they are hard as rocks! They will not get soggy from being in the freezer. I always buy several bags when they go on sale for Thanksgiving and put them in the freezer. Then, throughout the year, I use them uncooked in the bottom of crystal vases to anchor the stems of white flowers. Buy away this Thanksgiving!

Hi cranberry sauce maker, I don't know BUT if you put some alcohol in (sweet wine, sweet sherry or perhaps cherry brandy etc) then bring to the boil, could be kept for up to a year. I make a load at Christmas but then have it all year for use either with a Quorn product, vegi burgers/sausages or with cheese. Good luck, Katemarie

Cranberries don't get soggy and leak after freezing them. I buy several bags each fall and freeze them, I've never had mine go soggy.

Freeze them, after you thaw them out they will be good as new. I have cranberries in my freezer right now...they have been in there since last Thanksgiving and they are fine.

Youn can keep cranberries for a year by freezing them.

the only way is to freeze them to keep them that long. but as you don't want to do that the only way is to get fresh cranberries next year! why do you want to keep these that long?
