Notes
Keep the cranberries frozen: There’s no need to thaw the cranberries if you are using frozen.
Save the cranberry solids: Don’t throw them out! Instead save them as a topping for cereal, oatmeal, or yogurt!
Skip straining: If you enjoy the texture, leave the cranberries in the syrup instead of straining them out. It makes pancakes and waffles extra delicious.
