Love 'em. Cranberry juice is one of my favourite beverages.

Yeah, I'm an old geezer, I know...

Cranberry juice is a bit strong. Tastes good just a bit watered down. Maybe with seltzer :chin:

Craisins on the other hand :heart:

Well I'm a bit torn on this. In general cranberries are kind of bitter and bitter is not a pleasant taste. But sometimes I just really love it 8O sometimes I just have to have chocolate covered craisins lol and I really like cranberry juice even though it is unpleasantly bitter. I really can't explain it XD

Home-made cranberry wine is the best!

I like cranberries too, even the band(or at least their song "Zombie"). :lol: Cran-grape by Ocean Spray is some awesome stuff, and I like cranberry sauce. They are even excellent dried. :)

Hmmm. I'm curious now. How would you describe the flavor? :chin:

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.

Cranberries are wonderful. Especially when they're dried.

Cranberries are supercalitangyliciousexcelentédosious. How anyone can not love the excitingly-tart goodness is beyond me. How anyone can love the insipidness of cheese-based desserts is also beyond me.

I'm a big fan of the next big thing - Cranch. Yep, that's right... cran-ranch.

*gags a little*

Ok, I'm leaving before that has a chance to settle into my brain.
