things people ask

• When would I ever measure cranberries by the teaspoon?
  Mostly for finely minced fresh berries scattered over a tart, freeze-dried cranberry powder dusted on chocolates, or a pinch of dried cranberry pieces folded into oatmeal. A teaspoon of whole fresh berries is just one or two pieces — about 2.4 g — which isn't a useful kitchen measurement on its own. The teaspoon shows up once the fruit is processed.
• How much freeze-dried cranberry powder equals a teaspoon of fresh berries?
  Roughly a quarter teaspoon of powder gives the flavor concentration of a teaspoon of fresh berries, since freeze-drying removes around 90% of the water. Powder is much more intense per gram, so start small when seasoning frostings or whipped cream. A heaped teaspoon of powder will turn an entire batch of buttercream pink and noticeably tart.
• Can I use a teaspoon of minced cranberry in a vinaigrette?
  Yes, and it's a clean way to get cranberry character into a dressing without the texture of whole berries. About 2.4 g of finely minced fresh fruit gives a single serving of vinaigrette a bright, slightly bitter edge. Pair it with shallot and a sweeter vinegar like sherry or apple cider, since the berry's acidity will already carry most of the tartness.
