National Eat a Cranberry Day is celebrated on November 23 every year
The 23rd is right in the middle of cranberry harvesting season
It just happens to fall on Thanksgiving in the USA this year
Last week I shared a recipe for
Savory Holiday Bread Pudding with cranberries
I learned that cranberries are really good for you
Cranberries are high in antioxidants and low in sugar
They also prevent various diseases such as urinary tract infections,
gum diseases, and cardiovascular diseases
They are also a great source of immunity boosters
They are packed with Vitamin C and fiber
I’ve rounded up 16 delicious recipes using cranberries
that will be perfect for your holiday menus
