What it is
This is a frosted cranberry product. It features whole cranberries that have been coated in a sweet, sugary glaze. The coating provides a contrast to the tartness of the fruit.

- Garnish for cakes
- Decor for cookies

- Topping for pies
To use frosted cranberries, simply remove them from their packaging. They are ready to be placed directly onto your creations. For cakes and pies, they can be arranged around the edges or in the center. On cookies, a few can be placed strategically. In drinks, a single frosted cranberry can float on top or be placed on the rim of the glass. They are best added just before serving to maintain their frosted appearance.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh cranberries, these are coated in sugar, making them sweet rather than tart. They also have a softer texture due to the glazing process. This makes them suitable for direct consumption as a sweet treat, whereas fresh cranberries are typically cooked.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused frosted cranberries in an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place. This will help prevent the sugar coating from becoming sticky or dissolving. They should be kept away from moisture.
