Description

Dried cranberries, oftentimes called “craisins,” get that name because they are quite similar to raisins.
They are the same size, look the same texture wise, and the biggest difference is how they are a bright pinkish red color and their taste.
They have a slightly tart taste (not as tart as dried cherries) but with just the right amount of sweetness.
The name is also appropriate as dried cranberries are often used in the same way raisins are. Dried cranberries are often found in trail mixes, and many desserts like cookies.
