The Perfect Puree of Napa Valley Launches New Cranberry Puree
Just in time for the holidays, Limited Edition Cranberry Puree arrives - The Perfect Puree offers recipes for National Cranberry Day, November 23.

NAPA, CA, October 18, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Perfect Puree of Napa Valley announced today the launch of the brand's Cranberry Puree. Just in time for the holidays, this versatile flavor will be available for a limited time beginning September 15. The classic flavor has a special twist as cocoa fruit puree has been blended in to sweeten the naturally tart flavor of cranberry. The result is perfection - a slightly sweeter, smoother and sauce-like version of cranberry that lends itself to a variety of holiday entertaining favorites from relish and sauce to cookies, pies and cocktails.

"We have received many requests from our chefs, mixologists and home users, which prompted our holiday Cranberry offering," said Tracy Hayward, Founder and President of The Perfect Puree of Napa Valley. "The smooth consistency is ideal for beverages and cocktails, sauces and of course, everyone's favorite accoutrement to the holiday table."

The Cranberry Puree is frozen and packed in 30 oz. jars. Cranberry Puree can be purchased through foodservice distribution, on-line at Amazon.com and directly through the company at www.perfectpuree.com. On-line pricing is $25 per jar. With National Cranberry Day occurring on November 23, The Perfect Puree of Napa Valley teamed up with some of their top partners to start the holidays early. The following cocktails, created by Bacardi Portfolio Mixologist Manny Hinojosa, demonstrate the versatility of the puree with popular spirits. Images for these recipes are available upon request.
