FRESH VS DRIED CRANBERRIES
You are getting ready to prepare a recipe for the holiday season and you notice that it calls for fresh cranberries.
You run down to the store and all that you find are dried cranberries and you wonder if they are ok to substitute.
You can use dried cranberries in most recipes with satisfactory results. You will need to change the quantity though. For each cup of Fresh, substitute 3/4 cup of dried.
If the recipe turns out too dry, you can soak the cranberries in some warm water for about a half an hour before using in your next recipe.
You can use dried cranberries in the place of raisins or currents to add a little extra kick in recipes asking for them.
can I use fresh cranberries in a recipe that calls four dried sweet cranberries
It depends on the preperation. If the recipe asks for the Cranberries to be reconsituted in water, you should be fine. If it wants them to by dry or reconstituted in spirits or other liquid, the recipe may not have the desired results....
