• dense polyethylene bags with special fasteners for freezing.

2. Then fill the bags with cranberry puree and place them in the freezer on a thick surface (for example, a cutting board) for 15 to 20 minutes. During this time, the puree will “set” a little,
3. Then use a ruler to divide the contents of the bag into portioned squares and return to the freezer for complete freezing and further storage.
