Quiver0f10 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I have never heard of these before, but I am looking to try some new beans. Has anyone used these? What kind of recipes do you use them in? What is the taste( kind of bean) are these compared too? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camy-7 boybarians 1 lady Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Jean, I would compare cranberry beans to pintos and red beans. They may be a bit less starchy than pintos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camy-7 boybarians 1 lady Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 It's been a long time since I've cooked w/ them. Most of the time I just serve them spiced up a bit along w/ rice. This is usually how we eat most beans. Not very exciting :o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareni Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) My husband uses Cranberry beans in an old family soup recipe. He soaks them overnight then cooks them with parsley, a couple of cloves of garlic, a can of tomato sauce, cut up salt pork, and water. When cooked, he mashes them through a colander to remove the skins. Then he takes the liquid and heats it to boiling (stirring constantly or otherwise it will burn) to cook the added spaghetti. Served with fresh homemade bread this is a favorite! (This is my husband's favorite meal; he'd pick it over Thanksgiving turkey!)
