At this point, you’re probably rolling your eyes and thinking, “Great! What is it already? What did you do?”
Apple Cider.
Yup, that’s the magic ingredient that adds just the right amount of sweetness while reducing some of the pucker-power of unsweetened cranberries.
Timing, apple cider, and fresh cranberries will give you delicious dried cranberries to sprinkle on salads to your heart’s content.
All in all, it takes a day to make these, but it’s nearly all inactive time (my favorite kind of recipe). Start them in the morning, and by the next day, you’ll have perfect dried cranberries.

Just looking at this makes my mouth pucker a bit.
Now is the perfect time to make enough dried cranberries to last you all year. Cranberries come into season in the late fall, and they’re only here for a month or two. Grab a few bags, and let’s get craisin!
(Sorry, that was bad.)
While you’re grabbing cranberries, be sure to get a couple of extra bags and try making our Honey Fermented Cranberry Sauce or my Sparkling Orange Cranberry Hard Cider.
