I went to the FA website and indeed, no cranberry.

I’m Cranberry’s Biggest Fan. I buy the huge bag of Craisins from Costco and eat them right out of the bag by the handfuls… maybe a gallon of Cranberry juice a month (no alcohol required). I think Cranberry fixation may be an American thing. Are there any Holiday traditions in the EU that include cranberries?
If it’s non-existent in other countries, there just may be no market. Cranberry (TPA) doesn’t play well with the other kids, and I am overjoyed to find the right pairing %s. The Fuji Apple (FA) tames it, and i am considering it as a single flavor at this point. I hope to see Ocean Spray be just as easily mixed with other obvious flavors like Vanilla and Orange and Creams because Cran TPA doesn’t …it’s gotta be a chemical thing.
So, @Josephine_van_Rijn are Craisins even available in your store?

I have three cranberries CAP, FLV and OOO
CAP is easy to mix with leaves room for error if you only get this one i suggest 4% in the muffin mix
FLV is quite a bit stronger less juicy and slightly “darker” still very useful and could be used to bolster the CAP i would say 0.9-1.25% if you only have FLV or 0.25-0.5% to boost the CAP cranberry
OOO is very sharp is a borderline candy flavor and will get medicinal over 0.5% use is limited
Edit. I have worked on this same recipe already and a good tip is to use INW lemon cake at 0.33-0.5% it adds the golden brown outside of the muffin and the lemon works to embolden the orange…

great info thank you !!! i have been leaning towards the Cap or FLV and am only wanting one because im only chasing this certain profile and the cranberry may end up playing less of a role than the orange … at least based on the muffin i ate
i could be completely wrong also

Which Orange flavoring(s) are you thinking of using?

Yes, you will find them everywhere around christmas for the famous cranberry sauce and they sell cranberry juice the whole year around.
It’s now considered a superfood so they sell the berries dried as a healthy snack too. It’s a shame they often cover them in cheap, syrupy sweetness 
A lot of you have European roots and brought your traditions with you over the pond

Purilum’s cranberry orange is very good! The orange is lighter than the cranberry so depending on the profile you want you might need an additional orange layer, but the cranberry is super realistic.

This is a good flavor but needs a long steep. I was about to toss but gave it another taste at 6 weeks and was pleasantly surprised.

@R113 Oooo! Grape! To the lab! thx for that Rus! Since the “Ocean Spray” is such a solid SnV adding additional fruit flavors is a breeze (guessing those %s) And Orange (FA) another good suggestion for my Adaptations thx @fidalgo_vapes

Interesting! I thought it was pretty decent at 2 weeks. But it does get better with a longer steep, no doubt. And it doesn’t seem to fade badly like some fruits tend to do, which would be helpful for using in a muffin profile which is going to benefit from a longer steep. I have a few mixes with it that have steeping for a solid 8-9 months (maybe longer) and the cranberry is still nice and strong.

It’s got a lot of corn syrup in it too. Sure you wanna do that? Haha

Ordered cranberry Cap this morning. Wanting to play with it and pomegranate FC.

what is FC?
Flavor Concentrates.com, Cromwell at VU turned me onto them. The pomegranate is pretty good and steeps in week, much better at 2 weeks. Not in your face and should play well in a mix.

On Orange Cream (TPA) …Uh no. This flavor has a piney flavor meant for Creams and is an opposite pair for Cranberry

I just came across this website and I’m on the hunt for more info while I wait for a response from them.
Is your Pom flavor from their Natural line?
Have you used any other flavors from FC? Are they as concentrated as their recommendation of .2-1%?
Thanks!
Edit: I split this off into its own topic so I don’t derail this (3month old;) thread.
I did all singles at 5% and they are all good but a bit light for me. They didn’t start to mature before the 3 week mark, better at 5. For myself they are layering flavors and do seem to be more resistant to fade. I’ll get on the computer after I get caught up and give my impressions of the individual flavors.
