Organic Apple-Sweetened Dried Cranberries
What it is
These are whole dried cranberries that have been sweetened with organic apple juice concentrate. They are a product of the United States, grown and processed with organic farming methods. The cranberries are carefully dried to preserve their natural texture and flavor. This particular variety offers a balance of tartness from the cranberries and a gentle sweetness from the apple juice.
How people cook with it

You can enjoy these dried cranberries straight from the bag as a snack.

They pair well with nuts and seeds in homemade trail mixes or can be incorporated into stuffing for poultry dishes. Their natural sweetness makes them a good addition to sauces and chutneys.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike cranberries sweetened with refined sugar, these use organic apple juice concentrate for sweetness. This results in a different flavor profile, often perceived as more natural and less intensely sweet. The organic certification also indicates a specific farming standard was followed in their production.
