Thank goodness it’s cranberry season! Fresh cranberries are one of our favorite market ingredients and we (im)patiently wait for its short season all year long. Though they have a powerful flavor, the mouth-puckering tartness of cranberries is tempered by sweetness, a combination that can add depth to any dish. Check out our recipe round-up of cranberry-forward mains, sides, and desserts from Delish, Food52, Bon Appetit, Saveur, Food & Wine, and Sunset Magazine.
