Where to buy fresh cranberries now that holiday season is over?

[Anonymous]

I have a kid who is obsessed with cranberry sauce. I have been scouring grocery stores for fresh cranberries to keep up the supply and am down to the last batch. Please share any leads or suggestions!

The cranberry harvest season is October . They're also a North American thing (like corn) so it's not imported .

Looks like youll have to go with the canned stuff or the juice.

Is it the tart flavor your kid is obsessed with?

Giant (Hungerford Dr Rockville) has had them marked down to 1.50 a bag the last two weeks. I have a few bags in my freezer. Haven't been since last Sunday but maybe call them.

Buy frozen cranberries. They are fine and maybe better for cranberry sauce

I have them in my freezer from fall because I cannot ever even find frozen in stores year round. It's a missed opportunity for sure for supermarkets to order frozen. See also: rhubarb.

If you do find fresh, buy a supply and freeze. Cranberries freeze really well and last a long time (as does cranberry sauce - I make a full batch and freeze in smallish containers so I have enough for a meal or recipe whenever I need it).

Thank you all! I also found some bags (at Amazon Fresh) about two weeks ago and made multiple batches. Shoulda bought out the store and stashed them in the freezer! I'll try frozen unless I can find any more fresh.

My kid is a picky eater and underweight; he goes through intense phases that usually run their course before I run out of whatever the lastest thing is. I still have a cabinet full of ramen from a previous obsession.
