CRANBERRIES - Gluten Free
CBERRY-5
Description:
Cranberries grow in rich, sandy soil in Cranberry "Bogs". Cranberries are low, creeping shrubs or vines with small evergreen leaves. The fruit is a berry that is larger than the leaves of the plant. Cranberries are harvested in the fall when the fruit takes on its distinctive scarlet red color. When ready, the bogs are flooded to facilitate harvesting because cranberries float. This makes it easy to separate from their bushes. Cranberries are known by other names such as mossberry, fenberry and even bounce berries (a bounce board is used to sort good and bad berries). Traditionally associated with Thanksgiving, dried Cranberries are available year round and add a wonderful zest to winter stuffing, rice pilaf and summer salads. Cranberries are a great source of Vitamin C and provide certain health benefits to the cardiovascular system and immune system. Our Cranberries are mechanically dried and contain no sulfites. Cranberries can be used in meat processing combined with wild rice to make gourmet sausages or bratwurst.
Ingredient Statement:
Cranberries, Sugar, Sunflower Oil.
The ruby color of the Cranberry makes it a colorful component for Holiday and every-day meals. Use Cranberries with couscous salad with apples and chicken. Prepare wild rice with cranberries and caramelized onions. Hearty stews can be made with Cranberries, or make a rich dessert with baked Cranberries and pears. Tasty in salads, muffins, breads, compotes, chutneys, sauces, beverages and stuffing.
Recommended Preparation Instructions:
There is no preparation needed for dried fruit. If used in baking, you may want to rehydrate. To rehydrate dried fruit, pour boiling water over the fruit and let sit covered for 5 to 10 minutes. Drain well before using.
