Cranberries freeze admirably, just as you purchase them in plastic bags. With several extra bags of the bright scarlet berries obtained now when they are available and tucked into the freezer you will have the raw materials for a change of pace condiment to serve with roasted poultry or meats at other times of the year, or for quick breads or pies.
