Some things, like planting garlic in October or picking ramps in April, can only be done with icy-numb fingertips. There is always wind and snow and little whips of changing weather. Now I add picking wild cranberries to the list. Four of us went to our quiet little berry bog on Saturday, and filled our baskets. When we left, the lowest part of the landscape - sphagnum and wintergreen and briar - was still studded with a whole constellation of plump red berries. We didn't make a dent. The next morning, tart cranberry waffles + puddles of buttery maple syrup were deemed a success.
Anyone have a favorite cranberry preparation? I'm looking for ideas...

The photos are beautiful. I find the idea of picking cranberries very appealing - even with numb fingers!

I discovered your work over at design sponge and it's just wonderful! I don't cook with fresh cranberries often, but really do love a simple cranberry sauce alongside roast meats/poultry.
Thank you friends! Can't wait to cook these up (best part is the sounds and smells).
Those look scrumptious! I have a cranberry orange bread I love to make, and of course, homemade cranberry sauce with port. Your waffles sound wonderful though, and how fun to pick them yourself. Here we can only find them in plastic bags :(
