Cranberries store well. They can be dried, candied, or made into jam. I suggest freezing them whole. This is the least labor-intensive recipe that allows you to preserve their appearance and all their beneficial properties for a long time.

Cranberries have fairly thick skins, even when fully ripe. So, you can safely wash them. However, try to use cold water and exercise caution. Warm water can cause cranberries to become soggy.
You can cover some of the berries with cold water and leave them on the windowsill for 24 hours, then refrigerate them. These soaked cranberries can be stored for up to 2 months. This is a great way to preserve berries for immediate consumption.

Place the cranberries on a baking sheet and sort through them. Immediately remove any soft or rotten ones. They will quickly lose their flavor and, even after freezing, will only become a nuisance.
Place the cranberries directly on the baking sheet in the freezer. Make sure the berries are in a single layer. This will help them freeze faster and prevent them from sticking together. Transfer the firm cranberries to a suitable bag or container for further storage.
Label the container with the name of the berry and the freezing date. This way, you'll know exactly what you're taking from the shelf and which one to eat first.
