    Cranberries are a delicious tart fruit that has a short peak season during the fall and early winter. Take advantage of their arrival with one of these 9 fresh cranberry recipes for the holidays or any family get-together.

    Collage of several cranberry recipes including a galette, dump cake, cookies and bars.

    I love the bright color and the sweet and tart flavor of fresh cranberries. Since they only come around in the fall I always enjoy baking and crafting with these little beauties.

    Why Can't You Find Fresh Cranberries All Year Long?

    Cranberries have a unique growing environment with a short harvest season. However, you can freeze some to use later.
