I just drank a gable top carton of grape-cranberry-raspberry juice. I love the bitterness of cranberries, they taste fresh.

I want to taste the wine everybody are talking about.

There's too much cranberry love in this thread. I don't understand the appeal. I've never met a cranberry product that I didn't hate.

Likewise. The only one that comes close to being good is cran-raspberry juice...if only the cranberry juice were left out.

Cranberry Almond Crunch!

Great cereal.

I love cranberry juice...growing up, at my great grandparents' house, it was either cranberry juice, prune juice, or water

Would love to try craisins some day...I like jellied cranberry sauce, but it's kind of gross thinking about putting it on turkey

This is one of the reasons why I hate the stuff. At my granny's house it was all there was to drink. Because of this, I've always assumed cranberries are for the elderly.

A full-bodied wine that displays legs that hold up well right out of the cask. Strong, yet entirely unpretentious, cranberry wine starts out tart and fruity with astringent overtones, and then fades slowly to reveal a loamy aftertaste that is not at all unpleasant. A welcome accompaniment to any spiced meat dish, including poultry and red salmon. If the full bottle is not consumed, the remains can be used as a marinade or to deglaze a pan during cooking.

You know your cranberry wine.

I know wine, my friend. I know wine.

Do you know what is best in winemaking?

To crush your grapes, see them dribbling before you, and to hear the exclamations of the oenophiles.

OK, I was wrong. Cranberries are a major ingredient in something I enjoy: pink lemonade. I'm brave enough to admit my mistakes. However, I'm sure this is their only occasion of worthiness in an otherwise pointless existence.

I like to take fresh cranberries, and put them in the blender with an orange, some chopped walnuts and honey, to make cranberry relish. Delicious! Especially on a turkey sandwich!
