Not only do cranberries offer big health benefits in a tiny package, they also bring a major pop of flavor and color to sweet and savory dishes. Cooking (or baking, or assembling) with cranberries is an easy way to help meet National School Lunch Program fruit requirements. Since dried fruit is creditable at twice its volume, even 2 Tbsp (1⁄8 cup) of dried cranberries per serving counts toward daily fruit requirements.
