Very Cranberry

Cranberries are such a delectable, versatile ingredient; they should not be used simply as culinary trimmings. They can create a startling counterpoint to other flavours, such as in Braised Lamb Shanks with Sweet Garlic and Cranberry Jus; or take centre stage, as in Cranberry-Pear Crumble; or make terrific gifts, such as Cranberry-Blueberry Jam. Here are 40-plus recipes using fresh as well as dried cranberries to inspire year-round enjoyment of this phenomenal fruit.
