 cherry reviewJul 03, 2010
My family has gotten these cherries for a couple of years now on Amazon. They are SO good. They can give you gas if you eat too many at once tho- so be aware! :) But they are so flavorful and the deal is a breaker, better here than the home site. So fret not- buy!

 DisappointedMay 11, 2010
I bought these based on all the great reviews here. Maybe I just got a bad box, but mine were nothing like those described in all these other reviews! The cranberries were dry and tough. They were encrusted with sugar and sticky. Not very flavorful, and slightly stale tasting.
Before trying these I had bought the Oskri brand on a lightning deal, and they were great. Plump and flavorful. But expensive, so I tried these. No comparison at all! I'm going to toss these in the trash and go back to Oskri.
Best Cranberries, Cherries, and BlueberriesApr 29, 2010
This review covers Traverse Bay dried cranberries, cherries, and blueberries.
My wife really enjoys dried cranberries for snacking and for putting in cereal and hot porridge (oatmeal and multi-grain mix). She often asks me to do the ordering for her and I was curious to find out what she thought were the best of the cranberries we had gotten. So I asked her to do a taste test on samples of 3 different brands. Although I'm not a fan of dried cranberries for snacking (I prefer dried cherries), I do eat these too and find them quite enjoyable. So I went ahead and did the taste test also. Here's the results:
The Wife:
Mariani: Too dry.
Sun-Maid: Too sweet.
Traverse Bay: Just right.
Me:
Mariani: Most cranberry flavor. A drier cranberry that is a bit chewier and has a rougher texture that would not be out of place in a home-made trail mix.
Sun-Maid: Also pleasant, but not so flavorful. Softest and sweetest.
Traverse Bay: Good cranberry flavor. Large, plump, moist, medium-soft, and sweet. Very good for eating straight out of the bag and especially good for cereal and porridge.
We've also tried Traverse Bay's dried cherries and like them as well. The dried cherries are every bit as good as the dried cranberries. The same drying process seems to be used across all three products: fruit, a little sugar, and some oil to keep them plump and to prevent them from drying out. The cherries are flavorful and they manage to be tart and sweet while not being overly so. Very nice.
It is particularly hard to find good dried blueberries and Traverse Bay has succeeded there as well. The dried blueberries are good for all the same uses as the cranberries and cherries. I was particularly surprised that they are good for eating straight out of the bag. Before I tried these, I never met a dried blueberry that I liked. I thought at best they might be good for baking, but they are much better than that.
After almost a year of trying a variety Traverse Bay's dried cranberries, cherries, and blueberries, we are very pleased with the consistently high quality. We buy the 4 lb. bags every few months and that seems to be the perfect size for us.
Tangy sweet cranberry goodness!Apr 22, 2010
Like the other Traverse Bay Dried Fruits, these cranberries are excellent tasting and an excellent value. They are a staple in our home and are added to cereals, oatmeal, salads, pilafs, main dishes and anything else I can think of! In a pinch they're even good on peanut butter sandwiches.
Traverse Bay has consistently high quality products.
The best I've ever tastedApr 21, 2010
These cranberries are plump & tasty. Even though dried, they are not dry and shriveled like many. I've used them in baking, salads, dressings, etc. Delicious.
