How to Re-Hydrate Dried Cranberries

Process:

• Measure out the amount of cranberries needed for your recipe and pour them into a bowl or a pot
• Pour enough hot water over the cranberries to cover them all
• Cover your bowl or pot to keep in the heat
• Let sit for 20-30 minutes
• Pour off water* and strain the cranberries
• Use just as you would fresh cranberries

Keep in mind:

3/4 cup dried cranberries = 1 cup re-hydrated cranberries

Water-wise tip:

When straining or rinsing foods, catch the water in a large bowl instead of letting it run down the drain, then water your compost pile with it!
