How to prepare & use frozen cranberries
01Directly from Frozen: For smoothies, juices, and frozen drinks, add cranberries directly to the blender without thawing to chill your drink while adding body.
02Refrigerator Thawing: Transfer the desired amount to a covered container and thaw in the refrigerator until softened.
03Cold-Water Thawing: For quicker thawing, place the sealed package or container in cold water. Once thawed, refrigerate until ready to use.
04Avoid Excess Heat: Avoid microwave thawing when possible, as rapid heating may soften the fruit and affect its texture.
05Handle Gently: Thawed cranberries become softer after defrosting. Handle gently when mixing into salads, baked goods, or other recipes.
