Ocean Spray® Craisins® Dried Cranberries - in original, blueberry, pomegranate and cherry flavours - are nationally distributed and can be found in produce or the baking aisles of grocery stores, as well as drug and club stores. Why can't I find Ocean Spray® Fresh Cranberries all year?
If a recipe calls for one cup (250mL) of fresh or frozen cranberries you should use 3/4 cup (175mL) of Craisins®. Craisins® should not be used in cooked sauces. Since they are a dried fruit, they do not contain the pectin necessary for the sauce to gel. Do I need to soak or "plump" Craisins® Dried Cranberries before using in baked recipes?
Craisins Nutrition Information. Craisins are sweetened dried cranberries that are tasty alone, but you can also jazz up a variety of foods and recipes with the tiny dried fruits. Their sugar content is the main drawback, though. In addition, craisins don't supply large doses of any vitamins and minerals.
You’ll be happy to know that the process to make low carb cranberry sauce is actually the same as any other cranberry sauce from scratch. All you have to do is simmer together cranberries, water, sweetener, and orange zest. Then, stir in vanilla extract at the end. The difference is in the sweetener.
