Hoping to persuade consumers that cranberries aren't just for the holidays anymore, Ocean Spray has announced its first Ultimate Cranberry Recipe Contest.

The cooperative, headquartered on the Middleboro-Lakeville line, is seeking original recipes "from those passionate about the little, red wonderberry," a press release said.

There's a potential windfall attached: a $25,000 grand prize, just in time for holiday shopping. Home cooks can enter the contest through Aug. 23 online at www.oceanspray.com.

Cranberries are very versatile fruit.
I de hydrate cranberries and apples. After they are crispy dry, I pound them into a powder (pulverize). Then I mix the two powders together, and add a toss of ground cinnamon. This makes good drink mix.
