CRANBERRIES, WHOLE

Description:
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.  Cranberries are known by other names such as mossberry, fenberry and even bounce berries.  Traditionally associated with Thanksgiving, dried Cranberries are available year round and add a wonderful zest to winter stuffing, rice pilafs 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. 

Suggested Use:
Sweet and slightly tart, Cranberries are a colorful and zesty addition to everything from sauces to salads.  Richly flavorful in beverages, add to breads and muffins, create sumptious pies or fritters and puddings.  Combine with wild rice, pepitas, dried golden raisins and tart cherries for a sweet wild rice pilaf.
