Cranberries
 Cranberries, called Sassamanash by Native Americans, are an important part of every American family's Thanksgiving feast. The tart, red fruit, a cousin of the blueberry, grows wild on short green shrubs in Chile, Russia and Scandinavia and on vines in sandy bogs in the northern U.S. states and southern Canada. Cranberries are most often consumed as a juice, sauce or dried. |
