You have heard of apple butter and maybe even peach butter but this recipe is for cranberry butter, a delicious way to add cranberries to your diet. Cranberries are widely known across the UK and the USA. Cranberries are used in many products that we use on a daily basis such as sauce, juice and jam. You can also buy dried cranberries from the market and it is also very easy to find fresh ones. This particular fruit is harvested in the fall season when the berries become a deep red color.
Cranberries that have been exposed to excessive sun are deep red while those which have not matured completely come in white or a pale pink color. Cranberries are also very famous for their health benefits. They have a high nutritional value and contain reasonable amounts of vitamin C, manganese and dietary fiber. It is not common to eat fresh cranberries as they are hard and bitter so a major part of the produce is use to process juice and sauce. Even the juice extracted from the berries has a natural tartness so it is either sweetened or mixed with other fruit juices to consume it easily.
