Wash the fresh baby spinach thoroughly under cold running water and pat dry using a clean kitchen towel or salad spinner.
In a large non-stick skillet or sauté pan, heat the vegetable broth over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the spinach to the skillet a handful at a time, stirring gently to wilt the leaves before adding more. Continue this process until all the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the dried cranberries over the wilted spinach and toss gently to combine.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the mixture and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through and meld the flavors.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the spinach and cranberry mixture to a serving bowl. Serve warm and enjoy this healthy and flavorful dish!
