When
it comes to Valentine's Day desserts, fruits like strawberries or
raspberries are widely used, but I've always thought that cranberries
are such an under-appreciated fruit. They're often used for Christmas
and Thanksgiving, but not much else. The truth is, they're a very
powerful fruit. The dried cranberries used here contain good amounts
of fiber and heart-healthy unsaturated fats, they're also high in
vitamin C and have a lot of anti-oxidants, and so can be quite
beneficial for your health. Recently, I visited Nutra-Fruit - a local
store that specializes in cranberry products. I was really inspired
by their product, so I decided to create this recipe for this year's
Valentine's Day. (See my Valentine's Day Cranberry Heart Swirl Cheesecake, Homemade Cranberry-Vanilla Butter, Whole Wheat Cranberry Oat Scones)
