Friend Shane over at Ifish.net posted this in the recipe section. I had never heard of it, but plan to put up a batch in time for Christmas:

I took this recipe from Grow Forage Cook Ferment blog but this is the second year I’ve made these and they are fantastic and wanted to share...

Fermented Cranberries

This recipe makes about one quart of fermented goodness.
* 12 ounce bag of whole cranberries
* juice from 2 tangerines or 1 orange
* hunk of ginger, grated
* 2 Tbsp raw honey or maple syrup
* 1 Tbsp brine (from another ferment) or whey (optional)
* 1/2 tsp salt (Himalayan or non-iodized)
* 1 cinnamon stick
* 3 whole cloves
* unchlorinated water

First you want to smash up the cranberries a bit to burst their skins a bit. You can pulse them in a food processor a couple of times if you wish, but I like to be hands on so I mashed them up with a potato masher. This will result in mostly whole berries, which I like, but do it however you like it. The idea is to try to “pop” most of the berries.

Then add the brine from another ferment or whey. Whey is the clear liquid that comes from yogurt or milk kefir. Basically, fermented brine or whey is added to help the whole process get going a little quicker. Don’t worry if you don’t have any, it will work anyways, it just might take a few days longer. Anyways, add the brine or whey if you have it, salt, cinnamon stick, cloves, and grated ginger to the jar. Then juice the orange into the jar and add the honey.

Fill the jar with unchlorinated water, leaving about 1 inch of head space. Cover with a lid and shake to get everything incorporated. Then uncover and put in the weight. This little weight is really handy to have, as you need to keep everything under the brine when you ferment in order to prevent mold. Cranberries are especially floaty. Let it sit in a dark location around 60-75 degree temp for about 10 days. Scoop out, drizzle with a bit of honey and enjoy.

They are good just as a snack or in a salad too. Not too bitter not to sweet either.

sounds good,,, as a kid we had "polluted fruit"...,, it was fermented in some way too..

Yep,I love my sauerkraut.

I always had the concept that how can it go bad? Hell,it was rotten when we canned it.
