Dried Cranberries

Dried Cranberries

In addition to being dried, Dried Cranberries are usually sweetened, because otherwise the pucker power would be too much for most people.

They are sweetened by soaking them in sweetened water, which besides sweetening them, helps the fruit retain its colour and flavour throughout the drying process and storage.

Dried Cranberries look like raisins, except they are red.
