Cran You Believe it?
My third and final recipe submission in the Cape Cod Select Blogger Recipe Challenge 2020, Cranberry Jelly Swiss Roll, was submitted to the Cran You Believe It? category.
Cranberries For All Seasons
Why wait for the holidays to eat cranberries? Cape Cod Select Frozen Cranberries should be consumed all year long and this scrumptious Swiss roll proves that point. Filled with the sweet-tart flavor of cranberry jelly infused with rosemary, the dish offers a delightful marriage of herbaceousness when balanced by the whipped cream filling, this showstopper provides an exquisite summertime dessert.
Highest Quality-Women Owned
The Rhodes Family has been growing cranberries on their 800-acre cranberry farm for more than 75 years. It’s worth mentioning that they’re a small, women-owned family business, dedicated to providing their customers with the highest quality product.
Using Cape Cod Select Frozen Cranberries is like working with fresh cranberries in terms of taste and appearance. The perfectly plump gems are individually frozen holding their shape and flavor once thawed at room temperature.
Sugared Cranberries - The Perfect Topper
Sugared Cranberries are incredibly simple to make with just three ingredients; sugar, water and Cape Cod Select Frozen Cranberries. Beautifully sweet, they make and the perfect topper for this luscious dessert. Sugared cranberries can also be served as a healthy snack.
