Brought a bag of frozen cranberries but they are as sour as hell.. * We can only really get fruit in cans or frozen as present living in Norfolk Island and not alot of fruit or any around at the time*
Has anyone got any good ideas what to make with them.. Maybe a nice muffin recipe or anything really.. Thank you :)

Add sugar? Then they'll be nicer.

Yes thought of that but got them for my son and he doesnt want a bar of them now..So thought something nice made with them to use them up..
On that second link is a recipe for a very easy sauce (Simple Cranberry Sauce) that I made for Christmas Day using frozen Orchard Gold brand cranberries - it had a slight tart bite with it but was excellent with the turkey and very popular.
Hope there's something on those links that helps.:-))

I use my chocolate chippie recipe(one with consensed milk) and instead of putting in the dark chocolate chips I put in white chocolate drops and cranberries. They are yummy and the kids love them.

kirsten5, I assume that for your biscuits you use dried craisins (aka craisins) and not the frozen and raw cranberries as poster #1/nutwrencher is asking about??:-))

You're welcome, nutwrencher.Those cranberries are indeed a very "sour" surprise for anyone who may have enjoyed the sweetness of purchased cranberry sauce/jelly or dried craisins, although IMO cranberry juice also has an obvious tartness compared to other fruit juices.I guess it depends on one's tastebuds but I hope you can find some way of making use of them that will be more palatable.:-))
