Cranberries are a superfood!
One cup of cranberry juice can deliver up to 100 percent of the recommended daily dose of vitamin C - just look for the label that says "100 percent juice"

Several studies show that cranberries and cranberry juice can help ward off urinary tract infections.

Juiced
Take advantage of cranberries high acid content and use fresh juice from the berries in place of vinegar in salad dressings and marinades.

  3. I love it warm too, Sam! :-) BTW, ever since I watched the movie 'Shadowlands,' I think of it every time I see cranberry sauce. When C.S. Lewis asks his housekeeper if she can make cranberry sauce for the visiting Americans, she says, 'Well, you get me the cranberries and I'll sauce 'em.' (or something similar). I mention you in tomorrow's post, Carla. lol And YES, I love cranberry sauce!!
