Ingredients: Descriptions and Photos
Cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon)

(Cranberries) 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.

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live! (d-33)
