About Cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon)
Cranberries are a tart-sweet, astringent fruit that grows on trailing vines. They are usually available fresh in the markets only in mid to late fall. We extend the cranberry season for another six months by freezing some of the berries in plastic containers in our freezer. (Wash and clean thoroughly before freezing.) The photo shows a container of frozen cranberries. We buy extra cranberries when they are on special and freeze what we don’t use immediately. We have also found that freezing seems to increase the sweetness of the cranberries. Select cranberries that are firm and red. Whitish berries are unripe. Cranberries are extremely high in sulphur, which is not listed in the Federal nutritional chart. See the nutritional chart below.
