This is a very different yet wonderful crab cake recipe. I tagged this one because of the ingredients not being the usual things you would see paired with crab meat. It was really good and the combination of the tart cranberries with the crab was a wonderful combination. I served ours over salad greens with a fruit salsa and homemade cranberry remoulade. These make for a delicious meal or if you make little crab cakes, great finger food for a party. You can use fresh or frozen cranberries in this recipe, if using frozen there is no need to thaw them.
