As a sometimes impulse shopper, cranberries call me from their seasonal spot on the grocery shelf usually in mid-December. This year I answered the call.
But, because cranberries grow up in a bog you don’t just pop them into your mouth like candy or popcorn. They apparently need to be baked to eliminate the bog effect.
And unless you act decisively, the bag of berries ends up in the back of the ‘frig until Easter.
Not this year.
Visions of a cranberry-based pie danced in my head as I held the two-cup bag of Michigan bog boys.
