Cranberry, Ginger and Orange Chutney

This chunky cranberry chutney is super-fresh-tasting because the cranberries are simmered briefly and the orange sections are added near the end of cooking.

Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries

Go to Recipe

Because brussels sprouts are slightly bitter, Michael Nischan likes to pair them with something sweet: dried cranberries that have been plumped in off-dry Riesling. “I don’t like to overdress vegetables,” he explains. “It takes just one counterpoint to bring the sprouts to a place where people say, ‘This is really good.’”

Cranberry-Quince Chutney

Go to Recipe

Shawn McClain says cranberries and quince need a bit of sweetness to taste their best, so he combines them with apples, raisins and sugar, as well as cider vinegar and spices, to make a tangy chutney.

Cranberry Apple Raisin Crisp

Go to Recipe

We like to serve this homey dessert warm with vanilla ice cream. If you prefer it straight, reduce the amount of ground cloves to one-eighth teaspoon, or the flavor may be overwhelming. Be sure your baking dish is at least two inches deep so the sweet juices don’t bubble over the edge and burn onto your oven floor. If the crisp comes to the top of the dish, put a baking sheet under it.

Cranberry-Grapefruit Conserve

Go to Recipe

“It’s so easy to make your own cranberry sauce, why wouldn’t you?” Barbara Lynch says of this bitter-tart conserve, which she also jars and gives as a gift. She suggests adjusting the recipe to taste by varying the amount of cranberries, grapefruit and sugar.

Brown Butter-Cranberry Tart

Credit: © Con Poulos
Go to Recipe

This is a terrific cross between a tart and a cake; it has a crisp, delicate crust as well as a cakey filling made with nutty browned butter and vanilla bean. Pastry chef Katherine Thompson serves it all year-round with different toppings, but for the holidays, she loves to pile on fresh cranberries.
