25 Things To Do With Cranberries

Thanksgiving is without a doubt the cranberry's time to shine. So without further ado I give you 25 Things To Do With Cranberries:

1. Make cranberry sauce
2. Mix them into your stuffing/dressing
3. Toss some into that loaf of pumpkin bread
4. Squeeze your own fresh cranberry juice
5. Hold a competition to see who can drink the most freshly-squeezed cranberry juice without adding sugar or crying
6. Throw them like confetti to celebrate the presentation of the beautiful turkey
7. Make napkin rings with cranberries, sturdy thread, and a needle
8. Bob for cranberries – much like bobbing for apples, but on a smaller scale
9. Float them on top of your wine for a festive garnish
10. Send the small children on a Thanksgiving Day cranberry hunt
11. Play with them like marbles
12. Freeze them into festive ice cubes
13. Convince the children they are valuable rubies and see which one hoards the most
14. Fill the bathroom cabinet with them to deter cabinet snooping
15. Dip them in chocolate and hand out like candy; then, watch the hilarious expressions of those who bite into them
16. Use them in a festively impromptu game of paintball or I suppose in this case – cranberryball
17. Donate the berries to the local squirrel population
18. Squish them between your fingers for a great finger workout
19. Fill one of those small inflatable pools with them and play wine maker, smashing the fruits beneath your feet
20. Smash them up and use as temporary face paint/makeup
21. Throwing handfuls of the berries at a time, play a game of fetch with your confused dog(s)
22. Toss them down a staircase – doesn't accomplish anything useful, but it is rather entertaining to watch
23. Make a statue of a large cranberry by gluing together many small cranberries into a giant ball
24. Throw them at the TV should your preferred football team fail miserably
25. Float a few of them in the toilet - just to see if anyone notices
