I haven't seen them in stores yet.

I haven't noticed them in stores yet, and didn't get past the apple vendor at the Farmers Market last week. But I know harvest was last month - bogs are only abut 15 miles away.

I keep the canned version here year around, my BIL would eat Ocean Spray anytime its offered to him, so I try to have it to offer.

I have them in the freezer nearly all the time.

Bought a 2 pound bag at Costco week before last.

I have some that I used for the pork roast, but now I don't know what to do with the rest...open to suggestions!

Depending on how many you have, you can freeze them, make cranberry-orange-nut bread, OR, cranberry-jalepeno jelly or preserve. Ahh -- do delicious. Just give me a drip infusion of anything cranberry.

ETA -- yes, we already made some cranberry sauce. The bogs were dry/low water this year, so I read that it made harvesting the berry more of a challenge.

I bought a little sack of the Ocean Spray yesterday for $2.99. Wow! Usually I buy a few for the freezer so I can make cranberry sauce for roast chicken all year. Don't plan to buy any more for that price. This will get me through Thanksgiving.

What is the usual price per bag in the Northeast?

Annie.....they freeze beautifully. In fact I always keep a bag in the freezer so if there's a recipe calling for them in Feb. when you can no longer buy them, there's a bag waiting.

Just got an ecoupon from Kroger a few weeks ago but they're not in the store yet! Coupon is about to expire.

Bought some almost a month ago, just before Thanksgiving, but son and his lady weren't greatly interested - think it was about $1.69 for 12 oz. or so ... so they still inhabit the fridge.

ole joyfuelled ... who enjoys some fuelling from cranberries, on occasion

I use frozen cranberries nearly every day in my smoothies. I get bags of them at Whole Foods--although unfortunately they are expensive.

Last year a recipe was posted here , I think it came from grainlady. Called for a bag of cranberries, 1 whole large orange, and half cup of sugar. Pick over cranberries and cut orange into 4 pieces add all with sugar to food processer. Chop to a medium to fine texture. I use it mixed with cottage cheese for breakfast or lunch. Keeps in refrigerator a week, freezes perfectly.

I buy them dried often at Trader Joe's and toss them into green salads with toasted almonds...

I buy bags of fresh cranberries frequently and freeze them. I make tart cranberry sauce at least 2 times a month

I keep a stash in the freezer too. Throughout the year I make Cranberry Jezebel and maybe a Drenched Cranberry Cake once or twice.

I recently bought the cook's illustrated book and I see they have a recipe for orange cranberry nut bread...I think I'll have DH make it...

Yes, marcopolo, it was grainlady who posted the recipe from the Ocean Spray site. It used to be on the back of the bag.

There was a conversation about keeping the cranberries whole for a wonderful burst of flavor. Also how large pieces of toasted hazelnuts were delicious.

I miss seeing grain lady's posts. Where did she go? I hope she's doing well.

Ohhh, I forgot that I was going to try Cranberry Jezabel this year along with my usual fresh cranberry sauce. Hmmm, I will have to buy another sack of fresh cranberries. Maybe if I try a different store, they won't be the $3 a sack I found at Stater Bros.

More cranberry recipes plz! Curious about the smoothie one! Ive made cranberry sauce a couple of times in the last 3 weeks. Also couldn't wait and made turkey! LOL. Ocean Spray bags were 3/$5 and Costco had a nonane 2 lb bag for $3-something,

The 2 lb bag I bought at Costco was the Ocean Spray brand. Can't recall what the cost was.
