My thoughts:

Cape Cod Select contacted me bespeak if I would similar to endeavour their novel describe of premium frozen cranberries together with practise a novel recipe using them. I was happy to! I dear cranberries together with bring oft idea it was such a shame (and odd) that they are non sold frozen twelvemonth circular since cranberries freeze hence good together with bring uses beyond Thanksgiving together with Christmas. I've ever wanted to brand to a greater extent than or less summery cranberry recipes exactly yesteryear belatedly August, my stash has commonly run out. Cape Cod Select has stepped inwards to solve this problem.

I intend cranberries' bright, tart flavor actually goes good inwards summertime dishes. Since it has been incredibly hot, rainy together with humid this season, I idea I would brand something cool together with refreshing. This is a version of the old-fashioned soda outpouring favorite, a lime rickey. Basically a sparkling limeade, lime rickeys are served as-is or tin move spiked for an adult beverage. Common variations include New York's cherry-lime together with New England's raspberry-lime rickeys.

For this rickey, I added cranberries together with fresh ginger to the syrup to brand for an effervescent imbibe that is every bit refreshing every bit it is pretty. It's almost similar a light, fruity ginger ale. I intend it would move fun for a dejeuner or casual party, who wouldn't appreciate homemade soda? No i I'd desire to know!

Cape Cod Select is a woman-owned describe of piece of job concern that has been run yesteryear the Rhodes describe of piece of job solid unit of measurement for 4 generations--over 75 years! Their facilities are primarily powered yesteryear solar unloose energy which is admirable. You tin order their cranberries online here or honour them inwards a local grocery. Find out where to buy them locally here. If yous are a cranberry lover, banking concern jibe these out, I've never seen such large, perfect-looking cranberries inwards my life.
