Cranberry sauce is a staple of Thanksgiving dinner. The cranberry is native to North America and we know that the Native Americans ate them and used them for other purposes such as dye and medicine. Because of this, the cranberry most likely was eaten at the first Thanksgiving. Cranberries grow in acidic soil in chilly climates. Wisconsin produces over half of the world's total crop, while Massachusetts, New Jersey, Washington and Oregon also grow the fruit.
In 1930 the harvesting of cranberries moved from picking them by hand to flooding the fields and "wet" harvesting the berry. Since this causes the berry to appear imperfect Ocean Spray started to can the berries in 1912. The natural pectin in the cranberries causes the jelly to set up in the can.
While it may not be as popular as turkey and mashed potatoes the cranberry has kept some family farms in business for over 10 generations. That is berry good!
