Hi. I am looking for some cranberries to make Delia’s cranberry mincemeat. Has anyone seen any about. It looks like Sainsbury’s and Tescos might sell them but before I go searching. Many thanks.

Seems It’s a bit early maybe? To be honest I have always used snacking/dried cranberries in mincemeat as they reconstitute in the juicesAbel & Cole from 25th November https://www.abelandcole.co.uk/cranberries-organic-175g

I usually buy frozen for my cranberry, black pudding mincemeat. (Duh - stuffing of course) I think I would have noticed if fresh had been in the stores I visit.1

Hi both. @sarah1972 and @kempiejon thank you. I have sent my husband to look for frozen ones. If I can’t get them I will get some dried ones from our lovely refill lady.1

You could also try checking local farmers' markets or health food stores they sometimes have them fresh or frozen.

Indeed and often/usually dried have added oil, sugar and unlikely extras like pineapple juice concentrate. I expect fresh and frozen are just the berries.sarah1972 said:

I will use dried if I can’t find fresh but I suspect there is a lot more sugar in the dried ones. I like the juicy sharp taste of fresh ones.0
