Cranberry Pickle

Cranberries have:
  • High concentration of antioxidants, 
  • High potassium, 
  • Vitamin C 
  • Manganese 
  • dietary fiber 
  • low in fat 
  • low in calories-only 51 calories per cup from fresh cranberries. 
Use raw cranberries in a variety of food items to add a tart, fresh flavor to salads, relishes and other dishes.  While shopping at Costco, I saw fresh cranberry packet. I thought why I don’t make cranberry pickle?. I am a pickle lover.  So I tried it. It came so yummy. It’s so crunchy, sour and spicy taste.  It’s healthy also, just need 1 tbsp of oil  to make this pickle.You can make this pickle within 3 minutes. When I make this pickle I always remember  Horlicks Ad "Appadiye sapidalam".  It goes with curd rice.


 Ingredients
Cranberry                                 450 gms
 Pickle masala powder               ¼ cup  (See the Link)
Oil                                            1 tbsp
Mustard seeds                            1 tspe
Hing                                         1 tsp

Method
  • Clean the cranberry with paper towel.
  • Heat the oil, add mustard seed, Hing.
  • When mustard seed crackled add pickle masala
  • Now add cranberries just  stir for few seconds
  • Mix well. Switch off the stove
  • Store it in glass container and refrigerated it.
  • It will stay for one week
Note:

You can also use Deep Pickle masala Powder.

You can also make cranberry chutney.  Use the same my apple berry chutney’s recipe, instead of apple and berries use cranberry itself.
