9 Best cranberry recipes for Christmas. Looking for some festive cranberry inspiration? Check out these easy cranberry recipes!
Well folks, we're heading well into the festive season now and I hope you enjoyed my last cranberry recipe, the cranberry and white chocolate flapjacks.
I'm a huge fan of any kind of recipe that uses cranberries. Especially at this time of year!
I mean who doesn't love cranberries? They have such a unique bright, tart flavour.
They also look great at this time of year. Especially in holiday season recipes.
So here's all my 9 best cranberry recipes that I think you'll enjoy baking this Christmas.
All of these are easy cranberry recipes. Great for serving up to guests, taking to baking parties, or for something after Christmas dinner.
The recipes below, with the exception of the cranberry banana muffins, are all recipes with dried cranberries.
I do love fresh cranberry recipes but often fresh cranberries are hard to get here.
Frozen cranberries are available but sometimes just don't taste the same as fresh if you ask me.
So I usually always opt for dried cranberries which you can easily get in your grocery store.
That also means you can make any of these cranberry recipes all year round too!
Hope you enjoy your Christmas baking!

I like cranberries so much I'd be hard pressed to choose among all these lovely recipes. But if you put a gun to my head, I guess I'd have to go for the truffles.The look awesome. ๐
Neil
I certainly hope no one puts a gun to your head Frank! ๐ But those truffles are delicious! Thank you.

There can never be enough cranberry recipes! Thanks!

Thank you Jeff. I absolutely agree with you 100% there!
David @ Spiced
Excellent collection here, Neil! I always grab a couple extra bags of cranberries this time of the year. Then I just store 'em in the freezer for times when I can't find cranberries. Now I have 10 more recipes to try...10 because those flapjacks were already on the list! ๐
Neil
Thanks David. Hope you get a chance to try some of these recipes! ๐
Ron
Neil, this is a great cranberry recipe round-up. We rarely see cranberries here, but we have their cousin, the lingonberry. Thanks for sharing all the great recipe ideas...
Neil
Thank you Ron! As I said in the post, you can't beat cranberries in my opinion at this time of year. And I do love lingonberries too! ๐

Yes, I made that one again this year and it's gone down really well. Mainly because me and my other half ate it all. Ha ha! Thanks Raymond!
