    I was wondering the same thing, thanks for the clarification! Wow, what do you do with all those cranberries? I love cranberries but I don't really ever cook with them, please enlighten me! :)

    I originally started canning cranberries to familiarize myself with the [water bath] canning process before I moved onto "harder" things. I grew up watching my mom, grandma, & aunts can - so I really wanted to try it out for myself (and the $$ savings).

    While I haven't moved on (yet), I've been canning cranberries for 3 years. They are so great! We are always very sad when we run out, usually mid-summer.

    Their tart/sweet flavor is a great addition to many different things.

    Here's what we use them for:

    > Chicken/Turkey/Ham sandwiches - either as a side or on the actual sandwich
    > Pancake topping
    > Nice side to savory meals
    > Ice cream topping
    > I even eat them in a PB&C sandwich
    > Gifts (Squeeze's Grandma LOVES this)
    > Holiday dinners
