Think cranberries are only for the holidays? Think again! This nutrient-rich wonder-fruit can be enjoyed in a variety of ways beyond the traditional (albeit delicious!) cranberry sauce.
Need a little crans-piration? Try this Palomino Chicken recipe from Ocean Spray. It’s a little fruity, a little sweet, a little tart and A LOT delicious!
