What’s the deal with cranberries? 

Cranberries are a staple in holiday cooking. Often paired beside your turkey dinner, they are often forgotten about in everything else you whip up during the holiday season. This is so sad to me because they’re seriously so good and versatile.  I used fresh cranberries for this recipe, and I always reach for Patience Fruit & Co. cranberries when I use them in recipes because they have a strong focus on creating berries that respect nature. They are organic and high quality. No genetically modified ingredients or artificial fertilizers or pesticides, because who wants that in your food? They also ensure they harvest their berries when they are fully grown and their color shines bright because that’s when the health benefits are at its highest.  One of the best parts about cranberries is that polyphenols are naturally present in them (192.5mg per 55g serving). We get these micro-nutrients are packed with antioxidants and potential health benefits. They say these micro-nutrients can improve or help digestion, weight management challenges, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. So why are cranberries so underrated? That’s a very good question!!

 

Tips to get the perfect cranberry tart

These tips can help make sure you ace this vegan, yummy tart recipe: 

Infuse your oil with garlic! All you do is add 2-3 cloves of crushed garlic to one cup of good quality olive oil and let it sit for a few hours.  Be sure to use good quality cranberries, this is game-changing because you’ll really be able to taste their tartness and they’ll add great balance to these apps. Use fresh herbs that you and your family love like thyme and oregano  Use cool/cold puffed pastry (throw them in the fridge before baking, it cooks and fluffs up better this way)
