- When washing, look for bright, plump cranberries and pick out any soft, crushed, or shriveled berries.
- Peak season is September through December.
- Fresh cranberries will keep in the refrigerator for 4-8 weeks.
- You can freeze fresh cranberries for longer storage.
- You can substitute frozen cranberries in most recipes calling for fresh.
- Do not wash cranberries until ready for use, as moisture will cause quicker spoilage.
- When the recipe says "cook until the cranberries pop", don't expect popcorn. This simply means the berry's outer skin will expand until it bursts
