To prepare fresh cranberries, sort to remove stems and damaged cranberries, and rinse in running water just before using.
To store fresh cranberries, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. If you don’t use them right away, put the whole bag right in the freezer.
Cranberries contain vitamin C, which is good for fighting colds and healing cuts.
