How To Eat Fresh Cranberries
.
Here’s another way to use fresh cranberries – make ice cream! Seriously! I found this recipe in an old cookbook, and since it uses fresh cranberries, thought I would include it in this series of healthy cranberry recipes.
CRANBERRY ICE CREAM
2 cups cranberry sauce (recipe follows, or use one of your own)
3 tablespoons of orange juice
3 tablespoons of lemon juice
pinch of sea salt
2 cups of heavy cream
- Combine all ingredients and mix until smooth and creamy.
- Chill.
- Churn/freeze per instructions of your ice cream machine.
This fresh cranberry sauce recipe was in a previous post on how to eat fresh cranberries:
OLD-FASHIONED CRANBERRY SAUCE
1 1/2 cups honey (or 2 cups sugar)
2 cups water
1 quart of fresh cranberries
Pinch of salt
Boil honey or sugar and water gently (barely boiling) for about 5 minutes. Add the fresh cranberries, cover and simmer for another 5 minutes without stirring. Allow to cool without removing lid. Makes about 1 quart of sauce.
