craisins

Shriveled red berries

Craisins is a brand name for dried cranberries, now often used generically for any sweetened dried cranberry product.

They're tossed into salads, trail mixes, and baked goods much like raisins—the name itself blends cranberry and raisin.

Add some craisins to the oatmeal cookies.
