Cranberry recipes
Our cranberry recipes showcase the many ways you can add the tart, fruity berries to both sweet and savoury dishes. We’ve got cranberry cookies, classic cranberry sauce, festive desserts and cranberry cocktails. Made with frozen, fresh or dried cranberries, and all with delicious results.
Start off classic with our ultimate homemade cranberry sauce, or go boozy with our vodka-infused cranberry sauce. A cranberry rice pilaf features in this roast lamb shoulder dish, and chicken cosmopolitan makes an elevated and easy weeknight meal.
And we haven’t forgotten about sweet things, too. Try our cranberry pavlova with sorbet, pancakes with quick cranberry compote or white chocolate and cranberry tarts. You can also cheers to the season with a cranberry manhattan cocktail, or use it in Santa’s spritz punch.
