The results are in for the 2010 Make It Better with Cranberries cooking contest.

A plethora of cranberry infused dishes were sampled at Tihonet Village Market late last month, and all entries will be published in the 2011 “Make It Better with Cranberries” cookbook.

In the Home Chef category, first place went to Karen Waterhouse of Pembroke for her Tasty Turkey-Cranberry Stuffed Empanadas. Coming in second was Joyce Rose of Brockton for Aunt Mary's Cranberry Coffee Cake.  Third place went to Anna Broccio of Brockton for Anna's Best Cranberry Muffin.

First place in the Student/Youth category went to Mark Boulanger of Taunton for Cranberry Trail Nut Mix.  

A collaborative effort by Junior Girl Scout Troop 81794 of Wareham earned a second place finish for their Zesty, Zingy Cranberry Bread.  The troop makes the bread every year to help feed the homeless.

Coming in third was Emma McFadden of Pembroke for Emma's Surprise Meringues.

Prizes include gift certificates to Trucchi's Supermarkets and Tihonet Village Market and a subscription to Edible South Shore magazine.

The contest is co-sponsored by the A.D. Makepeace Company and the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers’ Association.
