Granny Smith apples are available all year-round, but we tend to use them in salads during the fall and winter months. Cranberries dreid and sweetened with apple juice pair beautifully with pumpkin seeds and chèvre.

Creamy Brie and sweet slices of pear are perfect with roasted chicken. The tart dressing compliments the dried cranberries and pears but sweeten it up with a little more honey if you prefer. Serving size will determine if this is lunch or dinner!

It’s not quite winter, but apples abound, and dried sweetened cranberries are reminiscent of fall and Thanksgiving. Cranberries are very tart if not sweetened. We love Patience Fruit & Co Organic Dried Cranberries, sweetened with apple juice.
