breaking with tradition

[ramtops]

every year, towards the end of December, I buy a bag of cranberries. I don't know why - I don't like cranberry sauce, and anyway, we always eat goose for our festive dinner, but there you go; it's part of the Christmas Tradition.

and so, towards the end of February, we generally have an equally traditional Throwing Away of the Cranberries (Mouldy).

but this year, things were different. I found this recipe for Christmas Morning Muffins, and I did indeed make them for Christmas morning, and they were delicious, and we snarfed the lot. And then I made some more a couple of weeks later.

earlier this week, I discovered the last of the cranberries at the back of the fridge, and last night we made *more muffins* with them. And now they are all gone (the cranberries, that is; there are still some muffins left), and I have none to throw away in a week's time. I'm quite sad about that in a way, but I think now I can move on, don't you?

Cool.
Do you have to top and tail the cranberries or do anything else with them before you use them?

just rinse them.
