O.T. need help with translation English-Spanish

[Dutchie]

For one of my Christmas recipes I need cranberries.
We are currently in Spain, so I translated the word "cranberry" in Google Translate into Spanish.
It gives me the word "arandano".
When I went to the shop, I found out that "arandanos" are in fact blueberries.
So, can anyone tell me, what the Spanish word for cranberry is?
Please?

Did you try arandano agrio or or arandano rojo?

[Dutchie]

No, just arandano.
Should I try arandano rojo?

[Merry Mary]

Rojo is red and agrio is sour so agrio arandano rojo. I’m just guessing here

[Merry Mary]

Or you could show them a picture of a cranberry

[Dutchie]

When I go back to the shop I'll give it a try and look at their faces, when I ask!

[sraebaer]

Just asked my niece married to a man from Spain. I'll get back to you!

Apparently this is confusing bc arandano means both. Here's what I was told: "You'd say arándano azul for blueberry and arándano agrio for cranberry."

[sraebaer]

Yep, my niece said "They use arándano but they aren’t very popular in Spain!"

[Dutchie]

Thank you all!
I think I've seen them once, but now I can't find them anywhere.
Maybe I can find some frozen.
Otherwise I'll substitute with the blueberries, given the fact they seem to be related...
Thanks again!

[sraebaer]

I think they are only related in Spain. A cranberry has the consistency of an apple if you bite into a fresh one, and is very tart, where a blueberry is soft and really sweet.

Then I wil have to buy some apples instead!
Thanks for saving my christmas dinner!
I am making some sort of boboti, with sweet potato mash: http://mailchi.mp/bariatriccookery/h...g?e=0ebf368675
Ho ho ho.

[Dutchie]

I bought apples, but I also found some bags with dried cranberries and a bottle of cranberry juice!
And I think that dried cranberry plus cranberry juice equals fresh cranberry!
No idea how this works out, they're soaking in the fridge right now...
