Cranberries can be used in a variety of different ways.
When I made the
Cranberry and Chestnut Brioche Popovers, it called for dried cranberries. I had a couple of bags in the freezer, so why purchase more? I boiled them for about 15 minutes; similar to the process used when making
cranberry sauce, but I didn't add any sugar.
I drained the cranberries after boiling and laid them out on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
They quickly began to shrivel up; losing excess moisture. Perfect for the use I intended. After about 20 minutes in the oven, I shut the oven off and let them remain there for the afternoon. They weren't technically "dry", but were similar in texture to
Craisins; without the sugar. Easy to do and makes a great snack too.
