A Thanksgiving Classic
In 1623, cranberries appeared alongside turkey on Thanksgiving tables of the Plymouth colony. Since then, cranberry sauce has become a must-have at Thanksgiving. Sweet, yet seductively tart, it remains the perfect foil for the mild flavor of turkey.
Beyond Cranberry Sauce
Cranberries are so closely associated with Thanksgiving that they are often forsaken the rest of the year. That's a shame. Fresh cranberries make sensational chutneys, jellies, pies and deliciously tart juice; dried berries are excellent in salads, trail mix and baked goods.

At their peak from October through December, these small, shiny red berries grow in sandy bogs on low-lying vines. A natural preservative in cranberries helps keep them fresh for a long time. Fresh berries and cranberry juice are high in antioxidants and vitamin C.
