I took the easy way out I skipped the 2 chicken bouillon cubes and used my chicken stock. I used dried onion flakes. Put it all in a rice cooker and walla a easy delish side. Just a note I used dried cranberries being thats what I had on hand and didn`t say fresh or dried. -
Pink rice! Flavour was fine with fresh local organic cranberries but I think dry would taste better. I used avocado oil because we are dairy free but did not take that into account in my star rating. I know butter would be tastier. I used organic purple onion, organic parsley, grey sea salt and no bullion cubes because of their nasty ingredients, and long soaking basmati rice which I soaked and added to the onion mixture with cold water, then brought to a boil, reduced heat and simmered for said time.

I live near Rochester NY with my husband and our 18-year-old cat, Fluffy. It's actually Fluffy's house, but he allows us to live here as long as we pamper him and feed him generously. Our daughter, Kree, whom some of you know from Zaar, is also living with us again while she begins a new business venture in real estate. She's the one who got me hooked on Zaar and taught me to try new recipes rather than stay in the cooking rut I was in.
In my free time I like to take long rides or sit by the water, both of which I find very relaxing. I also like to do counted cross-stitch and read. I dabble in photography, always looking for that elusive 'perfect' shot. I did more cooking before I started working full-time, and plan to again when I retire (still years away, but dreaming).
