The Cranberry Relish is believed to have originated in New England during the early 1900s. Cranberry sauce was first offered to consumers in North America in 1912 in Hanson, Massachusetts. Canned cranberry sauce appeared on the market in 1941, allowing the product to be sold year-round. Cranberry sauce can be used with a variety of meats, including turkey, pork, chicken, and ham.
Cranberries are one of the only fruits native to North America. The two others cultivated here are the blueberry and Concord grape.
Here’s one little fact about cranberries that surprised me … they don’t actually grow in water. Cranberries are a tough little dwarf shrub that survives in climates where most fruits wouldn’t. And because the berries have a little pocket of air inside, they float!
