To get you ready for Thanksgiving, November 23rd is Eat A Cranberry Day. Cranberries are a healthy, beneficial fruit that contain bacteria blocking compounds. These compounds are believed to help prevent urinary tract infections, ulcers and gum disease. Per current research, drinking 10 ounces of cranberry juice, or eating 1 ounce of dried cranberries per day obtains cranberries' disease fighting properties.
Dry cranberries in a food dehydrator and use dried cranberries in stuffing, salads, puree or as a garnish at Thanksgiving. Follow these steps:
- If using frozen cranberries, let them thaw and drain off any liquid.
- Cut the cranberries in half crosswise and not lengthwise, to help expose more of the fruit to the dehydrator's heat and air flow.
- Place the cranberries skin side down on the food dehydrator's drying trays. This will help speed up the drying process.
- Dry at 130 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 14 hours.
- When done, the cranberries will be shriveled and contain no juice inside.
