Question

How do you prepare them can you just eat them or do you have to boil or soak Please let me know P.S can you freeze them?

Answer 1

I think you can just eat them like that, but if you freeze them you could make cranberry ice cream , sherbet, or sorbet.

Answer 2

Store cranberries in the crisper section of the refrigerator for up to four weeks. If you don’t plan to use them right away, keep them in the plastic bag in which they were purchased.

Cranberries can be stored in your freezer for up to a year. To freeze, check berries and discard any soft ones. Drain them well after washing and put in a moisture- and vapor-proof bag or container and freeze. This is one fruit that needs no processing before freezer storage. Use them from the freezer as you would fresh cranberries.

When storing cooked cranberries and raw relish, cover them to prevent drying and absorbing odors from other foods.

Preparation
Cranberries are a versatile fruit. They can be used as an appetizer, beverage, with a main dish or in breads and desserts. The tangy flavor may need a sweetener to make them acceptable to most. To avoid sugar, try mixing cranberries with other fruits that have natural sweetness, such as apples, oranges or apricots. Cooking cranberries in the syrup from canned fruit, such as pears or peaches, is another choice. Serve the sauce and berries with the fruit.

Mix equal parts of fresh cranberries and apples that have been peeled and cored to make cranberry applesauce. Fresh cranberries added to apple pie filling create a tangy taste sensation.

Grinding or processing together one pound fresh cranberries and one unpeeled orange and mixing in one cup sugar makes a traditional orange-berry relish. This tasty relish will keep in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Cranberry sauce is easy to make. The standard proportion for sweet cranberry sauce is two cups fresh cranberries to one cup sugar to 1/2 cup water. After the cranberries have been sorted and washed, put the ingredients in a saucepan and boil gently for 10 minutes or until the skins pop. Remove from heat, skim and serve hot, or allow to cool first. The sauce can be served gelled. After cooking pour into a serving dish and set to cool. Another version features 1 cup of raisins soaked in cold water in place of 1/2 cup sugar.
