Cranberry Corn Fritters with Guacamole

August 29, 2018 by Noelle Leave a Comment

I love entertaining a lot so when it comes to creating a dish, I usually try something new with my guests. I know it is not the general rule, but sometimes I like taking risks. These Cranberry Corn Fritters with guacamole will have your guests asking for more.

Cranberries: Not just a Fall ingredient

Cranberries can mistakenly be thought of only as an ingredient to be consumed during the fall and winter season but cranberries are really versatile in drinks, salads and even savory dishes. We love eating them dry and sweetened or even in muffins or squares.

Cranberries can also be very intimidating since they tend to be very sour. With the help of a couple of ingredients, you can have a delicious recipe in no time.  I made these fritters with corn kernels, Cape Cod Select frozen premium cranberries, jalapenos and corn flour. They whip up pretty quickly and fry in delicious coconut oil.

A simple guacamole adds as the dip that pairs well with these delicious savory fritters.

Cape Cod Select Cranberries

Cape Cod Select is a small women-owned family business where they have been growing cranberries on their 800 acre cranberry farm for more than 75 years. It is now in its fourth generation. The cranberries are grown to some of the industries highest standards and are Non-GMO verified and hold GLOBALG.A.P. Certification (https://www.globalgap.org/uk_en/for-consumers/)

The lovely thing about Cape Cod is that you can buy fresh cranberries from them seasonally or you can buy them all year long in frozen bags. Check out their store locator online to find where you can purchase them. I see them all the time at Giant Food Stores near me so I love having them available. You can also order online.

I received frozen cranberries in order to create a few recipes for a recipe contest, so I was happy to create this yummy recipe. It pairs well on a cheeseboard too!

Check out Cape Cod Select on social for info and inspiration.
