Non-GMO Dried Cranberries: For Snacking, Cakes, Raya Cookies and Granola

Dried cranberries are small red dried fruits with a refreshing sweet-tart taste. They are lovely to eat as they are, but their real strength is how easily they fit into your kitchen — from cakes and Raya cookies to overnight oats and granola.

• Breakfast: stir into oats, yogurt or cereal.

Cooking and baking with cranberries

Cakes, muffins and Raya cookies

Cranberries add a beautiful red colour and a sweet-tart note that balances a sweet batter. Fold them into butter cakes, muffins, oat cookies or Raya cookies. Toss them in a little flour first so they don’t sink to the bottom.

Simple overnight oats

1. 1Mix oats with milk or yogurt in a jar.
2. 2Add a handful of dried cranberries and a little honey if you like.
3. 3Cover and leave in the fridge overnight.
4. 4In the morning, top with chopped nuts and enjoy.

Granola and homemade chocolate

Cranberries are a classic granola ingredient. They are also delicious stirred into melted chocolate with nuts, then left to set as a simple chocolate bark.

Choosing a size

• 150g or 250g — for snacking and trying out recipes.
• 500g — for families who often make oats or granola.
• 1kg — for Raya baking season or a small cake business.

Homemade cranberry granola

1. 1Preheat the oven to a moderate temperature.
2. 2Mix oats, chopped nuts, a little honey and a little oil.
3. 3Spread on a tray and bake until golden, stirring now and then.
4. 4Let it cool, then stir in the dried cranberries (add them after baking so they stay soft).
5. 5Store in an airtight jar.

Serve the granola with milk or yogurt for breakfast, or enjoy a handful as a snack.

Cranberries for the festive season

In the run-up to Hari Raya, dried cranberries go into butter cookies, oat cookies and cakes. Their red colour makes cookies look extra festive in the jar. If you bake to sell or give away, the 1kg pack lets you prepare several batches at once.

Cranberries or raisins: which suits your recipe?

• Choose cranberries for a bright red colour and sweet-tart taste — great in butter cookies, salads and granola.
• Choose jumbo black raisins for a deeper sweetness — great in fruit cake, bread pudding and biryani.
• Use both in fruit cakes and trail mixes for more interesting flavours and colours.

In most recipes, cranberries and raisins can be swapped in equal amounts. So if you run out of one, the other makes a good substitute.

How to store them

Keep them in a cool, dry place and seal well after opening. The fridge helps them stay soft in hot weather. Please check the expiry date on the packaging.
