40 lb. IQF Whole Cranberries

Details

Harvested at the peak of ripeness, these versatile 40 lb. IQF whole cranberries are then quickly and individually frozen to maintain their freshness at their best form. Adding these cranberries to your menu allows endless versatile options, while saving on the cost of labor. Bake into pies, cobblers, crisps, and cheesecakes for housemade baked goods, or serve a slice as a dessert with a side of vanilla ice cream. Frozen cranberries create a beautiful pastry topping as well! Taken from the freezer, place these cranberries on top of fall or winter inspired cakes, tarts, and other pastries. The cranberries will condensate and give a beautiful frosty look to your baked goods. Create cranberry glazes and vinaigrettes to dress savory salads, meats, and roasted root vegetables with a subtly tart and sweet dimension.

Macerate these cranberries into jam and offer it as a side option to your savory entrees, or use it to fill danishes, hand pies, and cake fillings for a fun fruit flavor! The jam can also be used to fold into meringues for a beautiful swirled effect, topped off on panna cottas, and can even be incorporated into buttercream frosting to add a more diverse and unique flavor profile to your cupcakes and cakes! Creating housemade syrup is another wonderful and easy way to use this frozen fruit. Drizzle over waffles, pancakes, and crepes, or fold into yogurt and ricotta for breakfast items. Plus, as a syrup base, this can be added into shaken specialty cocktails for a fun, fruity way to mix things up! With so many creations to be discovered, your next signature menu item will benefit from these IQF cranberries.

When fruits are first picked, they start to lose their nutritional value, and freezing in masses lumps the fruit together. Using the IQF method prevents this from happening, and instead keeps the fruit's flavor, structure, nutritional benefits, and natural appearance intact, letting your dishes look and taste their best every time. Thanks to their preservation, the cranberries taste deliciously fresh; customers will never guess they were actually frozen!
